Variety description:
This variety is a screaming hot Thai pepper, with short, 2-3” long, fiery fruits. These small peppers pack a real punch! On the Scoville scale, they rate between 50,000 and 100,000 Scoville units. Used extensively in Asian, Thai, Vietnamese, and Indonesian cuisines. In the case of Thai cuisine, green peppers are typically used in green curries, while hotter, mature red peppers are used in red curries. One of our favorite ways to use these Thai peppers is to make hot sauce!
Instructions for rehydration:
Use the "Toast and Soak" Method
1) Prep the Peppers: Pull off the stems. If you want to decrease the heat, slice them open and shake out the seeds.
2) Toast (optional but recommended): Place the dry pods in a hot, dry skillet over medium heat for 30–60 seconds per side. You’re looking for them to become fragrant and slightly more flexible. Don't let them burn, or they’ll turn bitter!
3) The Boil: Bring a pot of water to a boil, then remove it from the heat.
4) Submerge: Drop the peppers into the hot water. Use a small plate or a heavy bowl to weigh them down so they stay completely submerged.
5) Wait: Let them sit for 15 to 30 minutes and use them as you wish!
