Spicy Chicken + Broccoli Stir-Fry ?⠀
.⠀
If you’re looking for flavorful SPICE…this recipe has got you covered! OMGosh!!! The FLAVORS ? So maybe, just maybe you want a little less spicy, just leave out a few of the chilis…no biggie…my feelings wont be hurt.? I grew up with a houseful of brothers who engaged in hot sauce eating competitions ? I learned to like the heat!⠀
.⠀
Chinese dried red chili peppers are milder than Thai peppers. Chinese chili’s are really good because they are nice and plump but not overly spicy. I enjoy spicy, but the Thai ones were just too much. If you’re cooking Chinese cuisine, then use Chinese peppers. If you are cooking Thai, perhaps you want to use the spicier Thai chili’s.⠀
