How to use
Ingredients
- Green chilies
- Soy sauce
- Sesame oil
- Sugar
Instructions
- [Prep/Usage]
- [Eat As Is] Being peeled makes the texture surprisingly soft; place directly over white rice or nibble as a drink snack.
- [Bopi Lajiao Ji Tang (Ultimate Chicken Soup)]
- mins before finishing a pot of simmered bone-in chicken and ginger, generously dump this Bopi Lajiao 'along with the jar's pickling juice'.
- The green chili's refreshing heat and the pickling juice's sweet soy richness melt into the broth, completing a clear yet punchy, super-delicious chicken soup massively trending in Taiwan.
- Frying with shredded pork 'Bopi Lajiao Chao Rou Si' is a huge staple rice thief.

Trivia
[For Everyone] Initially daunting to 'eat whole chilies', but frying and peeling milds the heat, drawing out veg-like sweetness. An immovable Hualien souvenir, but recently explosive hits of arranged dishes in Taipei hot pot shops/restaurants made it widely available in supers nationwide. A highly spotlighted ingredient.
