Mild Chili Threads

Mild Chili Threads
Chili threads are extremely thin threads of dried red pepper. Measuring in at about a half millimeter by about three inches in length, they make a show-stopping garnish on just about anything. Traditionally used in kimchi, these mild in heat but full in flavor chili threads can be used on soups, salads, hors d'oeuvres, or anything that can use a touch of beauty. The threads are quite pliable, and can be lightly toasted in a dry skillet to bring out a deeper flavor.
