IKONEast Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Greetings all, Re those 4 small bowls that are seen everywhere, and shoveled into guai thiao and other dishes. I believe they are: 1 vinegar with sliced hot peppers 2 sugar 3 fish sauce 4 chili powder Question: is this "chili powder" the basic ground chili pepper/ground cumin/ground oregano combination which gives chili its distinctive taste, or is it a different spice? Seems this taste does not fit with Thai cooking... Also, if anyone has a basic recipe for guai thiao I would be grateful! Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerfish Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 the best stuff i find that you get given in some places. is the chillie that has been stir fried in oil, garlic and baby shallots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
