Notes

Any chilies can be used for the recipe. Simply cut to preferred size (larger if they will be picked out or smaller if they will be eaten) and use as per the directions above.

Fish sauce and Thai seasoning are both very salty. Be sure to start with a small quantity and add until you reach your preferred saltiness.
