Cooking With Chao Tian Jiao (Facing Heaven Chili)

Chao Tian Jiao chilis are very popular among experienced Sichuan chefs who know that flavor and heat can be non-competing friends. These chilies are often used whole in dishes for aesthetics and flavor.

Chao Tian Jiao is milder than other red Chinese chili peppers, so you can use more of them in your cooking. Still, it’s always best to start slow and work your way up. Of course, every time you test, you get to taste! It’s a win-win and you can’t go wrong.

Consider using Facing Heaven chilis the next time you cook Kung Pao (vegetarian or meat style), General Tao’s chicken, or mala pot. You can also venture into exciting territory with a mixed cuisine Chinese salsa.
