Authentic Hunan chopped pepper

Overview

As a Hunanese, chili peppers are an indispensable dish. Now is the season for making chopped chili peppers. I used to eat what my mother cooked, but now I have to make it myself when I am away from home. When I was a kid, I saw my mother making it. It was very simple! The fish head with chopped pepper is the most delicious, even better than the ones in restaurants! You can also eat it directly with rice. It’s so spicy that it goes well with rice!
