t. white as fuck guy

>>14504555
wooooooooow you must be so fucking special and different from other white guys

>>14504540
He makes stupid threads because he has "problems"

>>14504540
Actually this reminds me that I need to buy some more peppers.

>>14504540
It's a solid mix, like mirepoix or sofrito.

is that a particular type of chilli?

>>14504577
I never seem to run out, mind you, the asian store here only sells them in 2lb flats and the wife doesn't eat spicy food. I got dried greens, dried reds, fresh greens, frozen reds, ready to go pickled ginger-pepper-garlic-lime paste, pickled reds, pickled cucumber with reds, and some sweet pepper sauce. You want any? It's starting to take over my fridge a bit.

>>14504584
Looks like a periperi/red bird's eye. Could also just be a thin cayenne or red jalapeno. Asiatics aren't really particular about their peppers.

>>14504602
yeah, i should have made it more clear that i wasn't asking about the chilli in the picture, i just meant if there was a particular type of chilli asians use. the poster calling it a mirepoix made me think it was some kind of set culinary tradition.

isn't it a problem that chillis have wildly different spicyness levels?

>>14504540
I used to just use garlic when cooking, but the added ginger really takes me to flavor town

>>14504584
Probably Prik chee fah / Sky (pointing) chili... maybe Jindas ... too big to be the bird's eye/mouse-shit, which are very similar/closely related to the Chee Fahs, but smaller and hotter.

>>14504625
>Prik chee fah
>Jindas
this seems to be it yeah. that's weird. a coworker brought some chillis that looked exactly like that to work once, said her mom grew them. by far the best chillis i'd ever tried, in terms of flavor and spicyness level, they were just right for me. weird thing is that we're in eastern europe though, and the girl was some bumpkin even by our standards, so i'm not sure how her family got their hands on chillis like that.

>>14504566
yes I am
thanks for noticing

>>14504611
You find what works best for you. Bird's eyes work well for really spicy dishes, Jindas, serranos, red jalapenos, or even hungarian wax peppers can work well for a milder, more pepper-forward mix.

>>14504644
Mirasols are pretty common and look similar - they're usually a bit milder. The mouse-turds can get uncomfortably hot. They're technically milder than habaneros, but because the flavour's sharper and less sweet they seem nastier.

>>14504611
There's a limited group of cultivars that are commercially grown in Asia regions for use in regional cooking. They're mostly related, and those with different tastes and spices are pretty easy to differentiate. The typical "thai chilli" is actually a couple different nearly identical cultivars that have basically interbred into a homogenous pepper.

>>14504602
>>14504611
If it's SE Asia it's Birds Eye chilli. They retain the same amount of capsaicin as they grow so you use baby small ones for more (concentrated) spice.

>>14504661
They're usually bird's eye/mouse shit here. The Asian market sells Jindas by name.

*flings whites into genocidal rage*

>>14504709
The English half of me kind of wants to take over your country and teach you to line up on the left. The Thai-Viet-Lao half is wondering why you have chilies in your paprika, and why you'd fill these small bags so full for a photo that you can't move them without spilling.

>>14504540
Add Turmeric and that's a 10

>>14504709
i would totally kill a nigga to have all them spices

Shiggydiggy.

>>14504855
My mom did her own colonizing. I don't need the full story from her, but it definitely involved robbery, defrauding an airline, and flat out pinning my father against a wall and telling him that she's sleeping in his bed... also growing a bunch of chilies and basil in the garden, and thanking my father for not making super-asian looking kids.

>>14504854
look over there your majesty, a peasant uprising!

>>14504906
Hrm, yes... Quite the nuisance, really. Have the magistrate take their land rights away.

>>14504540
Those three together make a solid foundation flavor. It is warming, spicy, and garlicky.

>>14504919
>garlicky

>>14504930
what?

>>14504930
He really phoned that one in. I'm sure chingchong traditionally medicine has a word for the "spiritual benefits of garlic".

>>14504949
it translates roughly to "boneriffic!"

Pretty damned close

Close your mouths, you're drooling like weirdos!

>>14504540
Add some green onion to the mix and I'm sold.

>>14504709
Is that a scoop for ants?

>>14504540
Ever since I started cooking everything with garlic ginger and peppers I’ve had MASSIVE boners and HUGE cooms.

>>14504540

Here is your Reddit Gold kind stranger!

Thank you, Mr. Necromancer! Now let it die.

>>14504846
Your white half should have played pick up sticks as a child

>>14504709
I still haven't found a good use for star anise

>>14504846
>why you have chilies in your paprika
Paprika is literally ground up peppers, and there's such a thing as spicy paprika

>>14504540
Forgot the soy

>>14508283
They're not usually packaged together. I'm sure the photographer thought it added texture, but it just makes me think that whoever ground that paprika missed a spot.

salt, black pepper, garlic powder and oregano

Oh god, right in the nonna!

>>14504664
Do they really grow that big? I've never seen them any bigger than a pinky finger.

>>14505037
I REMEMBER YOUUUUU

>>14504540
Those are objectively some of the best flavoring agents, even if you lacked access to salt.

Is it true swedes can't handle spicy foods? I heard that mild spice like store brand salsa is too much for them
