How To Make Thai Chili Flakes (Prik Bon)

Ingredients

• 3 lose cups dried Thai chilies

Steps

1. 1

   Heat a pan over low heat (with no oil), add the dried chilies and stir continuously for about 5-7 minutes or until brown. Once done, the chilies should be a little shiny and darker in color but not blackened.

2. 2

   Let the chilies cool completely. Then, grind in a blender or food processor until the desired texture is reached.

3. 3

   Store in an airtight container and use within 1-2 months. (Thai chili flakes last longer than a few months but they lose their heat and flavor over time)
