Tiger Skin Chili Peppers

Tiger Skin Chili Peppers

　　1. Heat the pan until it smokes slightly, then add the seeded and flattened green chilies.

2. Use a spatula to press the chilies against the pan, applying slight pressure to flatten them. You should hear a crackling sound~~ Flip a chili over to check if the side touching the pan has developed white or charred tiger-skin-like patches~~ If the blistering is relatively even, flip all the chilies over~~ Then press them again with the spatula to blister the other side~

3. When both sides have developed tiger-skin-like patches, reduce the heat slightly and slowly pour oil along the side of the pan. Toss the chilies to coat them evenly in oil. Sprinkle with salt—remember, use plenty, as this dish must not be bland; otherwise, it will be extremely spicy but flavorless. Stir-fry~~~~ Add a small amount of soy sauce and continue stir-frying~~ Cook until the chilies are soft and tender, then drizzle in a few drops of vinegar, sprinkle with minced garlic, and stir a few times. It will taste even better with some fermented black beans~~ You can add them while pressing the chilies or after pouring the oil.
