<![CDATA[chilli sauce]]>was out today and kinda hungry. so happy when the young man gave me a good amount of chilli to go with my dried mee pok. what a way to start a day (i skipped breakfast).


nearly spit out the first mouthful becasue the chilli sauce was sweet 😒

this is not the first time i had sweet chilli sauce with noodles :faint: . what happen to the good old hot chilli? if it isnt sweet, it is too diluted.

i know chilli is expensive but ...................

can last at least 2 weeks.


by storing in a pack is that some over ripe chillies may have started to rot without being visible and thus affect the rest of the pack ....

by washing and pre-cut, we sort out the questionable one to avoid them affecting the rest....less wastage, but a pack of chillie padi does not cost a lot ....just the inconvenience of running out of it
wow thanks! i'll ask my helper to do just that... πŸ•Ί

wash, pre-cut, and store in container, air tight


take out and use clean spoon to scoop, as and when needed, and return the container to fridge immediately

can't live without chilli padi

You're talking about sliced chillis? So just slice, store in airtight bottle? That stores chilli better than leaving it whole? We usually slice them as and when we need them.

pre cut is more convenient for lazy people like me, or when the kids want it, just take from the fridge ......

How long can it last in the fridge this way? I always end up throwing the entire packet of chillies... So wasted...

I only freeze my small chilli. As for the normal big chilli, I like to share how I store them in my fridge.


:offtopic: sorry ...
I reused those 'container' that was used to pack strawberry or kiwi when we buy from supermarket.Those that can click on the small holes. Not the airtight kind. I would nomally lay a piece of kitchen paper in it, then place the green chilli in. It can be used to store fresh mushroom, lime, lemon, green pepper, tomatoes, etc... and keep them for long .
Thanks for the tip.

Maybe you want to try my method... πŸ˜„

I wrap my fresh small red chilli with the kitchen paper towel and place them in the freezer, can keep for months. When I need it, then take 1 out, rinse it and leave it for a while. Taste as fresh...
Thanks for the tip. I freeze my bread but didn't know I can do so for chillies. πŸ˜‰

[quote=\"LOLMum\"]i used to buy all kinds of chilli sauce home too. but all turned bad cos' i was the only one eating them and couldnt finish them no matter how small bottles they were.


even for cut chilli as well. they turned dried and wrinkled like my face :rotflmao:

how come ur cut chilli became dried? dun u keep them in e fridge?

sometimes, left them in the fridge with the intention of eating them at the earliest moment, but ............... never got to remembering them. so cut and uncut all dried up. the cut ones maybe not dried up but left too long in frigde looked awful.[/quote]I can also be forgetful of the veg in the fridge (so need to print out the inventory for the display!) Thank goodness- my Lock and Lock containers ensure that most of them- cut or otherwise- do not go to waste, even after quite awhile.

I love Lingham's Chilli Sauce. :love: It has a very unique taste and really spicy. I tried it when someone gave me a bottle of it, but I can't seem to find it in Fairprice Finest and Cold Storage.
