Hot stuff!
Hubby and I are crazy about super spicy stuff. We are always on the lookout for really hot chillies. We used to get our little red hot chillies from Save On but one day, they just disappeared never to be seen again. Then while shopping at Chong Lee, we saw these lil pickled red chillies. It wasn't enough because somehow it didn't taste quite right to me when chopped and mixed with a little light soy sauce but that didn't bother Hubby, he could eat anything 
I did some reading up on how to store these chillies and decided that once I get a batch of these hot chillies, I was going to freeze them. We were on a shopping trip to Sidhu's when we saw these green chillies. There were green chillies, thai chillies and some other chillies. The thai turned out to be really hot. They froze really well. So now we have frozen chillies in the freezer ready to be chopped and eaten.
The dip for the szechuan hot pot consisted of chopped chillies mixed with chopped garlic and light soy sauce. It goes really well with a lot of stuff.
We had heard so much about the szechuan peppercorns and thought that we had bought some some time ago in Chinatown. Before the hot pot session below, we had another in which I threw a handful of szechuan peppercorns. It didn't seem to be much of a big deal until we came across Lee Kum Kee's Szechuan Hot Pot Soup Base. It's really good. We found it in the Dollar Store in New Westminster on 6th St.
