พริก Tribute

These are the real deal from Qingxi village, the story about them being a tribute to the emperor is what sold me. They're so versatile, I've used them in everything from a stir-fry to pickling and they've held up beautifully each time.

I've already used these in three different stir-fries and a braised pork dish, and every time the pepper's gentle heat and floral aroma came through without overpowering anything. The fact that they're grown in that tiny Qingxi village makes me feel like I'm cooking with a piece of history.

The gongjiao history is what sold me, and the peppers from Qingxi village didn’t disappoint in my stir-fry. They’re versatile enough for a quick weeknight dish, though I wish the bag had a bit more for the price. Still, solid pantry staple.
