Bought these on a whim today, never worked with them before and not sure what to do with them. Any ideas?

I grow these and they’re pretty versatile. I like to cut one up and throw it in with some ramen to up the heat. They also dry pretty well and make for pepper flakes that are actually hot.

Mash ’em up in a pestle with the other usuals to make a green curry paste!

Take the reddest one and just eat it while staring down the rest of the clamshell to assert dominance over the peppers. When you cook them later they will taste better.

If ya like heat, use ’em in any dish you would normally add jalapeño, serrano etc.
Also save some seeds and grow some next year. Thai chili plants are small and produce tons of chilis.

As others have mentioned they are great in curries.
I like to toss these in a pan with mussels/scallops, some coconut cream and a bit of lime. Can add other spices to taste (tiny bit of turmeric and coriander brings a nice earthy balance)

Im trying to find the pepper that Panda Express uses in one of their “spicy” dishes *type of pepper

Pad kra pao is my favorite dish to cook with these

These things can be spicy as hell. I dehydrated some and made them into pepper flakes, they’re pretty damn good

I would make prik nam pla (Thai) or Nuoc Cham (Vietnamese) dipping sauce. Then fry up some spring rolls

Add heat to any dish without much flavor

Somewhere between Serrano and habanero, they’re decent but tastier when not green

You can anything with these peppers. Some of the most versatile yummy peppers there are for daily cuisine
ILCHottTub
Put in a jar with vinegar

Take one of the ripe orange ones. Keep the seeds.
I’m growing these for a pepper in a cup project and they’re extremely hardy and productive for their small size in the window all year round.

I eat them raw along with food, just take bites every time I take another bite of food. You can make a quick pickle, or hot sauce-or both. I also made Hawaiian Chili Water the other day. Great condiment to keep for daily use, goes with everything. You can Google or YouTube for recipes for the above suggestions I just made. And if you don’t use them all, you can also freeze them for later use. Enjoy!!

Chop, slice, quarter, or just leave whole. Then pickle a bunch of em!! They go so great on so many different dishes!!!!!! I started pickling my own peppers and other garden veggies, I’m ***OBSESSED***

How spicy are they?
JohnnyBroccoli
I suggest consuming them orally.
rotateandradiate
Eat them. 🤣🤣. Kidding aside, they are in my opinion best tasting fresh, raw. I slice them real thin and eat a slice with each bite of food… and my favorite use is fine chopped and mixed in raw with frito bean dip.. to give it a kick! 🥰

I will use those to spice up anything from rice to soup. When I make my hot sauce, I will add 2 or 3 just for a different flavor.

Hear me out. Grab a jar, put them in and fill it with oil, preferably with olive oil, until you cover the peppers and forget it inside the cabinet for at least 2 months. It will be tasty and super spicy. If you have an empty olive oil bottle laying around, it’s even better

Mostly Asian foods are good with it.. Stir fry vegetables, prawn, chicken, pork, beef, etc

Red ones r deadly

I made a batch of this with my surplus of thai peppers. You can temper the heat with a tablespoon or five of sugar.
I really enjoy these in a Spanish omelette, especially with some tobacco or Cholula hot sauce drizzled over the top.

I dried and crushed them and put in about 1/8tsp when I make chicken. Spicier than you may think

Sliced long ways for ramen or hot pot, short rings for curry or fried rice.
I grow a few of these every year & they’re pretty versatile honestly & can really go in just about anything.

Make Phat Kaphrao. Delicious.

I use them a lot in stir fry

Use them for whatever you want. They’re very versatile. Fairly hot, but not overpowering. Tasty, but don’t change the profile of a dish. Just a good all-arounder.
ETA: it’s a shame they’re not ripe. They’re better when fully ripened.
