Thai Chili Flakes Recipe (Prik Bon)

Ingredients

• 1 cup dried chilies (as needed)

Steps

1. 1

   Roast the chilies. Remove the stems and place the dried chilies in a dry pan over low heat (no oil). Stir constantly for 3–5 minutes until slightly darkened and fragrant.

2. 2

   Cool completely. Transfer to a plate and let the chilies cool fully before grinding.

3. 3

   Grind. Grind using a mortar and pestle or pulse in a food processor until you get coarse flakes or a finer powder, depending on your preference.
