Spicy Chicken, Vegetable Dish 香 辣 雞 肉 蔬 菜

There are two great parts to this spicy dish. You can use any type of Chinese cabbage and also vary how spicy you want by adding as much chillies as you like.

Thai chillies are used in this recipe as their intense heat brings out the natural flavour from the chicken and vegetables used. These Thai chilies have a Scoville heat unit of 90,000! A scoville unit is used to specify the hotness of a specific food, especially for chili peppers. Mild red bell peppers rate a zero all the way up to habaneros at around 300,000 heat units.
