Having just returned from far east, I brought with me some big fresh green chillis. To me they're prized commodities as they're expensive over here in the supermarket. In order to preserve them, I decided to pickle them. I like pickled green chillies especially served with wanton noodles, hor fun and etc. This is a simple recipes to follow.
Pickled Green Chillis
- 300 gm fresh green chillies-must be firm to the touch
- 200 ml distilled white vinegar or rice wine vinegar
- 100 ml water
- 1 litre of boiling water
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp salt
- Clean, de-seed and slice the green chillies. Pour the boiling water over the green chillies and let it blanch for about 5 minutes or so. Drained.
- In a pan, bring to boil the vinegar, 100ml water, sugar, salt together.
- Place the blanched chillies in jam jar. Pour over the ingredients from (2) over the chillies. Seal the lid of the jam jar.
- The pickled chillies will be ready to eat in 2 days.
