Yimi Dried Red Chilies — Medium Heat, 10.7 oz Dried Peppers

Product description

Yimi Dried Red Chilies come as a 10.7 oz bag of whole, sun-dried Chinese red peppers.

The chilies are picked fresh and dried naturally in the sun with no additives, preserving the pepper’s shape and natural red hue. The label identifies this as a medium level of heat, with a fragrant, slightly tingling sensation that enhances savory dishes.

Included in the package is a resealable pouch to help keep the peppers dry and a separate recipe insert with Chinese-style cooking suggestions. The peppers are suitable for making chili oil, chili paste, Sichuan hot pot, Kung Pao Chicken, Mapo Tofu, orange chicken, and other Southeast Asian or Chinese-inspired recipes.

Use them whole for infusing oil, break or crush for flakes and powders, or pulse in a food processor to create your own crushed red pepper. Because they’re sun-dried and unprocessed, they retain a vivid color and bold aroma that wakes up a dish.

If you have questions about heat level or cooking techniques, customer support for the product can advise on pungency and recipe ideas.

Reviews

  1. Thomas Havercamp 1/5

    Found mold in the pack

    My package had mildew and mold among the chilies, so I discarded it and moved on.

  2. Human Decoy 5/5

    Fresh flavor, milder heat than expected

    The medium level was gentler than I imagined, which is fine — I’m testing amounts for homemade chili oil. I used under a quarter cup and it gave a bright, fresh flavor rather than stale notes. The included recipe made a noticeable difference.

  3. Teresa Feliu Elkind 5/5

    Fantastic for restaurant-style garlic oil

    I used the entire bag to make garlic chili oil like at restaurants. My family loved it and asked for more.

  4. PatL 5/5

    Excellent for Sichuan-style stir-fries

    We use a lot of peppers for Chongqing-style dishes and these hold up well. They offer solid flavor and heat, and the larger quantity lets us prepare several meals from one bag.

  5. Karen L. Healy 5/5

    Great for making chili oil and flakes

    I make Asian chili oil with these. They produced a rich, spicy oil and I pulsed some in a food processor to make crushed red pepper for pizza and salads — very tasty.

  6. Cook Guy 3/5

    Not as spicy as I hoped

    I expected a stronger kick from medium — flavor is good but heat is light. Results may vary; if you want serious heat, try a hotter variety.

  7. Robin S Spitler 4/5

    Arrived intact and useful for pickles

    The peppers arrived in good condition. I used them to make sweet-and-spicy canned pickles; we’ll see how warm they are once the jars are opened this winter.
