Insanely Hot Chilli Padi Dip
Some like it insanely hot: My home made chilli padi dip
When I name my recipes, I’m always unimaginative and factual. Call a yam rice, yam rice and a chocolate lava cake, chocolate lava cake. With the same principles in mind, I am naming this dip an “insanely hot chilli dip” because that is exactly what it is. This chilli sauce is really potent because it is primarily made up of seeds-on chilli padi (bird’s eye chili). It is so hot that it is almost mindless – even though my nose was running and my eyes were tearing from dipping my foods in it (not a pretty sight), I still persisted because it is so shiok (Singapore slang; satisfaction for eating something yummy). I love to make this easy chilli dip for steamboat, specifically for dipping shabu shabu meat slices.
Dipping shabu shabu meat slices in this spicy chilli padi sauce
Want to try it out but can’t take the heat? You can de-seed the chilli (wear disposable plastic gloves to prevent chilli burn) and it will be manageable. I did that once and my guests do not find this chilli dip spicy at all. But if you leave the seeds on, and increase the number of chilli padi used, I dare say this dip is not for the faint hearted. You can adjust the heat of the dip by adjusting the number of chilli padi used (the more the hotter), and so I think the heat meter has no limit. My fiery threshold is 10-12 chilli padi (with a box of tissue next to me), what is yours?
Good news for chilli lovers – chilli is said to contain high levels of Vitamin C and can boost metabolism rate.
Ingredients
- 10 chilli padi (bird’s eyes chilli), sliced (adjust according to how hot you like)
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled
- 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- juice of 2-3 limes
- 1 tsp sesame oilDirections
1. Using a food blender, pulse chilli padi and garlic cloves together for a few seconds. Scrap out the contents using a spoon to a small bowl.
2. Add light soy sauce, sesame oil and lime juice to taste.

So this is going to boost my metabolism and is super shiok? Well, I must try it! I am a bit chicken when it comes to eating insanely hot food but will try it with your tips to lessen the heat. Thanks!
I’m sure after a few rounds of “training”, you will progress to the “insane” level and increase the heat ;)
Wiffy, that looks err … insanely hot! LOL. I’d prob need your tissues as well as an ice cold sugar cane drink next to me. :D But as with all dishes that require a dip, the hotter the better!!
Anything chilli hot, love it! Just drink milk after that hehehe … :lol:
milk can neutralise the heat? I must try it next time! :D
AWSOME! I can feel the heat here. hahaa, bird eye chili are precious here to me and I love it with soy and lime as well. Superb spiciness!
I remembered buying bird’s eye chili by weight at a Melbourne supermarket and paid like S$5 (instead of S$0.50) for a small packet. So I know what you meant by “precious”. hehe
Bring on the heat! Love spicy food.
That does look HOT!
My gosh….that looks extremely hot…all the chili seeds floating there!
oh yes, scary looking aren’t they hehe
This looks more deadly than the Thai chilli dip… great dip for steamboats. Hot (temperature) + Hot (taste) = very shiok :up: :D
haha i agree with you. It’s shiok to eat steamboat on a hot day with hot dip and sweat it out … free detox and suana :P
What a great dip and I am already imagining the chilli padi taste on my tongue! Sizzle … sizzle!
Hello wiffy! nice blog and design! r u using WP may I ask?
yes I’m using WP :)
it really looks insanely hot and spicy!!
Spicy but shiok! I want! ;)
You’re hardcore! I can’t handle that much spicy so I just barely dip it into chili sauce.
the sriracha chili sauce is really hot too so you’re not bad yourself ;)
I can’t eat anything insanely hot anymore. All these years of living overseas tone down my tolerance of heat.
nooo ching. you must “tune” back to eating spicy foods so that we can see more spicy recipes on your blog hehe
wow… looks spicy enough to make me sweat!!
I love it when something is so spicy it makes me cry–so this sounds perfect!
hi 5 – yes this is spicy to the point of crying and I like it!
Hi … same like Thai style, our dish always have chilli dip too. Your chilli padi dip look nice and spicy. I like it!
Are you Thai? I love Thai food! Just came back from Bangkok and I must say all the different sauces and dips are so spicy and yummy :up:
Yes, wiffy… I’m a Thai leaving in Singapore with my family. Thai food also must spicy and hot then will be nice too hehehe….
:D
That’s awesome! I love Thai food. You have to teach me some Thai recipes one day :)
this is fabulous! I will definitely be striking a pose! give it to me babe! hot chilli sauce! :)
I can imagine your pose, very funny! :D
So many seeds! I don’t think I can take this heat! I like chili but not to the extent of the chili numbing me much and I can’t taste other food anymore! :O
Neturalize the heat???!!! And give up those endorphins? No Way!! I don’t know what our heat level is, but everytime we’re in Thailand the people always have fun telling us we eat like the locals- love local street foods!
On my FB wall I posted this question for you- “Gonna have to try this one! It’s a little different from the one we use (learned to make in Thailand) using green and red chilies, w/sugar, naam pla, vinegar,limes & garlic- if it has a name, can you tell it to me?” Thanks Noob!
do you mean the name of the sauce you learned in Thailand? I’m not too well versed in Thai food but it sounds like a “Prik Nam Pla” (chillis in fish sauce). your recipe sounds yummy!
Nice to learn another chili sauce, I love spicy food recently : )
I’m lovin’ the looks of this dip!
I don’t know if I could handle that, but I would totally try. I love spicy!
This i a kind of sauce that is always good to have around :-) Although I’d make my less hot ;-)
So *that’s* what that is!! I’ve seen this at a few restaurants, but didn’t dare to try it. It looks so yummy, and I like dishes with a bit of spice (though this one sounds pretty dangerous lol!)
Once again your photos are getting better and better all the time!
yes this sauce is really potent and dangerous lol … you should try something milder if you are not accustomed to eating spicy foods hehe
Thanks so much for your encouragement! Love ya ;)
Insanely hot? Bring it on! If bird’s eye chiles are as incendiary as habaneros, this might blow my head off :vangry:, but it’s worth at least a taste. Stunning shots, Wiffy.
haha love your sporting nature … yes you are right though that it’s worth a try ;) Thanks for your nice words Susan :)
Looks like something to eat when my face is congested from a cold. I love anything spicy and throat burning when I down with the flu and I’m all stuffy. Gives me relief.
LOL! I love how you go about with your write-up here! Your insanely hot cili padi dip sure looks shiok!! Never thought of eating it with shabu-shabu. Creative!
It looks insanely perfect for meats….and other insanely delicious stuff!
You’re a woman after my own heart! I’ve never been defeated by chile, and I love how it immediately clears your head.
Hi wiffy,
Yes this is wonderful dip. it so great to go with steam boat.(i did it and really love it)
I even cooked the drunken prawn from your recipes. Wow! is really wonderful and i go with the dip. shiok! You will never had enough for only 10 prawns. Ha! ha! ha! Thank you for all the recipes and i not worry how to cook with the food in my fridge.he he …
I like to know more about thermal magic cooker as i had one at home which different brand. I was told to put all the ingredients into the inter-pot and cook in high heat and let it boil for 10-20min then put it into the external one(am i right?). Not like we used to cook soup, take about 1-2hr in low heat after it boil.
instead of blending, could i chop or mince up the chili padi and garlic finely then add the rest of the ingredients? Might be less hot
Hi Wiffy, you really like ur fiery chilli :-) I must try ur recipe with steamboat one day. I do blend my own chilli too, though I do add a few normal chilli ( maybe 1 large to 20 Padi?), ginger and a bit of sugar ( else it’s too bitter). I would make a lil bottle and serve some with lime at every meal. Shiok! When cooking chicken rice, I would use this chilli and add sesame oil, soya sauce :-) how can anyone eat without chilli :-)
sounds good and glad to meet another chilli lover. For chicken rice chilli, I like to add chicken stock to blend with some garlic … really resembles those at chicken rice stall!
