“Tears in Eyes” is a Sichuan dish of soft rice noodles covered in a spicy sauce made of dried, fresh, and pickled chili peppers, chili oil, and, of course, the iconic Sichuan peppercorn. It more than lives up to its name. The dish’s capsaicin content (capsaicin is what gives chilis their bite) is so intense that as tears stream down your face, you start to believe that you’re doing irreversible damage to your tongue.

#9     Our Hottest Tip Yet: How To Make Homemade Chili Oil In 10 Minutes,More info:chatelaine

Chili oil is essentially dried chilies, preserved in oil. It adds a delightful kick to whatever dish you’re using it in. Commonly used as a finishing oil for risottos, pastas and seafood, it’s also a great oil for any stir fry or sauté.

As you’re about to learn, making chili oil is very easy. Using it however, requires a little more consideration. Fresh chili oil—or chili oil that has just been made—will be relatively mild. But once the oil is stored, the chilies will continue to release heat. Rule of thumb? Test your oil before using: A little goes a long way.

Roasting chilies and peppers adds a smoky flavor that can enhance any recipe or be served as an appetizer or side dish. Many people buy roasted peppers and chilies in cans, but it’s so easy to do and the flavor is so much better, that you really should roast your own. Though you can use a lot of different cooking equipment to roast a pepper it is best done over a live fire, like that from your gas or charcoal grill.

I still remember exactly where I ate Sichuan boiled fish (Shui Zhu Yu, 水煮鱼) for the first time. It was a tiny little restaurant specializing in Sichuan cuisine hidden in a quiet neighbourhood of Beijing. At that moment, I only knew a few famous Sichuan dishes, such as Mapo tofu, Kong pao chicken, Shredded pork with garlic sauce, etc.. I found Sichuan boiled fish so stunning that later on it became the one dish that I always order whenever it’s on the menu.

In an episode of The Food Programme on farming in Thailand, they discussed farming communities in the Northern Chiang Mai province. Many farmers were transitioning from farming opium in favor of produced commonly used in Western cuisine. Because the climate in northern Thailand is much cooler, it is conducive to growing crops like Brussels sprouts, beets, salad greens, and peaches. This national agricultural development project launched in the late-1960s. Now, many farmers sell their produce to fine dining restaurants throughout Thailand.

I was flipping through Andy Ricker’s cookbook, Pok Pok, and I found a recipe for stir-fried Brussels sprouts with Thai flavors. It tasted delicious, and I have adapted the recipe to incorporate more vegetables and simplify the cooking process.

Roasted Red Pepper Pasta with White Beans and Basil. Pasta tossed with homegrown red bell peppers, fresh basil, lemon, and creamy white beans. It’s a bowl full of harvested summer produce and comfort, and I could not love it more. The best part? It’s SO easy to make, (almost) vegan (I added cheese, but you can omit it..if you must), and so delicious!
