Notes
- Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
- If you like a high level of spiciness, use Jinda chili peppers. You can also opt for bird's eye chilies, which are even hotter. For a milder sauce, choose milder chilies like Spanish chilies or jalapeños. Removing the seeds can also reduce the heat.
