Description
Chinese Bullet Chillies are small, whole dried chillies recognised by their short, rounded bullet-shaped pods and consistent heat. Widely used throughout Chinese cuisine, they provide a clean, warming heat with a mild earthy flavour, making them suitable for both whole and crushed applications.
Their compact size makes them particularly popular for stir-fries, chilli oils, hot pots and dry-fried dishes, where they add heat, aroma and visual appeal without overwhelming other ingredients.
Flavour Profile
Chinese Bullet Chillies deliver a clean, medium to hot heat with subtle earthy notes and a lightly smoky aroma when cooked. They are ideal for infusing oils, broths and sauces while adding warmth and depth to savoury dishes.
