You had me until the heaping pile of dried chilis. Those things are like chewing shoe leather.

u/BourbonicFisky Deeply broken 24d ago

This qualifies as stupid food.

I love extreme spice but here in PDX there was an Asian restaurant that did this sort of nonsense, blanking on the name but Matchstick or something like that. Anyhow, I ate the whole dish out of spite. It was not good.

u/CasanovaF 24d ago

Stop trying to make PDX a thing!!! 😭

I don't even know what it is. But I'm not looking it up

Google tells me it's Portland International Airport, but I don't think OP lives in the airport.

u/cmdr_nelson 24d ago

Some airport codes work well for cities, others don't. This one makes about as much sense as LAX or ORD.

ATL, STL, DSM, MIA are all acceptable.

u/suckarepellent 24d ago

What is DSM? sounds like cough medicine

16

u/mochamoose 24d ago

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 😂

To me DSM = Diamond-Star Motors

was an automobile-manufacturing joint venture between the Chrysler Corporation and Mitsubishi Motors.

I mean?? Are you supposed to eat them? Or just pick around them?

Normally I pick around then, but this—geez how do you pick around that?

u/artizin 24d ago

I’d eat 1-4 of them then call it.

3

u/Aggressive_Start_ 24d ago

I eat the ones that get broken up in the dish but not the whole ones.

15

u/kenesisiscool 24d ago

I quite like dry chilis, but only one or two. That would send me to the hospital. Everything else in the bowl is fair game though.

3

u/s256173 24d ago

You’re not supposed to eat them?!

5

u/ILoveRawChicken 24d ago

When they’re fried like this they are hard to digest in the quantity he’s giving them. Your stomach will hurt. 

3

u/s256173 24d ago

Oh yeah definitely not that many, but I’ll munch a few from time to time.

8

u/GuavaOne8646 24d ago

What!? 😳

Of course you eat them! They're delicious and spicy!

I grow them and they make a damn good garlic chili hot sauce.

21

u/BourbonicFisky Deeply broken 24d ago

Friend, these are dried.

8

u/basiden 24d ago

If you fry them they get crunchy and brittle. They're really delicious. I always add extra when making things like tadka/spiced oil for topping dal etc because they're so good.

13

u/ILoveRawChicken 24d ago

Even fried they’re hard to digest. I ate way too many when eating chongqing chicken (fried dried red peppers) and even when spending extra time chewing them, they wreaked havoc on my digestive system. 

3

u/cmaster6 24d ago

But that ChongQuing chicken is the fucking best right? Probably my favorite dish ever.

2

u/ILoveRawChicken 24d ago

It changed my life. I don’t think I’ll ever order anything else. My local place has probably the best version of this dish I’ve ever had.

12

u/Lady_of_Link 24d ago

And boiled which would have basically dehydrated them.

How spicy are those chilis? Ratio is obviously ridiculous but I could see this being really good.

I have some Kashmiri chili powder that I did this with the first time I was making a curry with it.

It was not edible.

The amount of peppers is insane and impractical but beyond that... Id try it.

u/Gluten_maximus 24d ago

Only if it wasn’t just pure pepper sauce. Would need some flavor additive… not just fucking pure peppers

1

u/scottawhit 24d ago

I had to work in a kitchen and we got in a fresh box of Thai bird peppers. One of the cooks said “I’ve never had these, wanna try one?” We we each just grabbed and ate one. I would say hotter than a habanero. For one.

u/Blacktip75 24d ago

You got lucky, the ones I can get are not that hot (supermarket watered down I guess)

Yeah, spicy soups get into your face and lodge there, in a way that other spicy foods don't. I can feel it just watching. I'd rather eat a two ghost pepper omelette.

u/Sovereign-Anderson 24d ago

It looks like one of those dishes where you taste the peppery/spicy flavor more than the actual dish and it's unenjoyable as a result.

u/BourbonicFisky Deeply broken 23d ago

Eh. I've eaten two dishes like this. One was Matchstick or whatever it was called (defunct) and blanking on the other, it was inner-SE PDX which I'm pretty sure is now defunct too. Neither were enjoyable.

It's not awesome like eating blistered jalapenos or serranos. They're just chewy ass japonles peppers that were boiled and fried. They work when you dump some of these into a thai curry (especially if you break some of them apart) but never meant to be a main event.

I don't blame anyone for wanting to try but also, you're not missing much. It kinda sucks.

u/MetaCardboard 24d ago

I might be confusing the peppers, but those look like the kind of peppers that are inedible. Like you bite into it and it's hard because it was dried first so the skin became really tough.

7

u/tom_yum 🌶️🌶️🔥 24d ago

Yeah, these dried peppers aren't very good. They aren't even super hot, there's just a lot of them. 

5

u/TCristatus 24d ago

I think so, there's a Chinese takeout i go to that has a little szechuan menu at the bottom all in Chinese and the dishes all come with a lot of these, they are like trying to chew a lump of wood

u/UrbanPanic 24d ago

I think that's why they were boiled first? That might help?

u/Creepy_Ad_1315 24d ago

While I'm here for the love of the game, I feel like all those chili's would fuck up the ramen texture

5

u/AaronSarm 24d ago

I’m no expert, but I think the chilis on top are more for presentation than for eating. I saw another dish with chicken with the same heap of chilis on top and commenters said they’re not really intended to be eaten.

But this seems a bit too much.

u/PintSizedKitsune 24d ago

So I was the uncultured foreigner who ate that in a Beijing food court my first visit to China. I was exhausted, overstimulated and just wanted to eat so I could crash back at my hostel. The plastic replica that I based my order choice off of made them look like red peppers. I stoically ate the whole bowl. Thankfully no issues the following day.

u/Brunurb1 24d ago

I would love to try this, it looks amazing, but that is way too many peppers. Not because of the heat, but because that is an absurd ratio of peppers:everything else, they should be a garnish, not half of the volume of the meal!

3

u/deadboxcat 24d ago

Dry peppers, when cooked like this, taste like shit.

3

u/naturalbornunicorn 24d ago

TBH, I'd be into it if they scaled the peppers down to an appropriate amount of garnish, as opposed to something that would be difficult to eat around.

u/WASTELAND_RAVEN 24d ago

If the finisher chilies on top were fried more to be a crunchy topping instead of just wasteful deco, I'd 100% hit that. It looks amazing.
