A Cute Way To Dry Red Chili Peppers
I make ichimi togarashi (red chili pepper powder) every year at home. I used to dry the chili peppers in a sieve, but the other day when I went to an Italian restaurant I saw a braid of them hanging near the cash register. I turned it around and around to study how it was put together, and as soon as I got home, I tried to recreate it before I forgot how.
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Make sure you have a cork board or a place on your table to which you can secure the raffia. Fold the 120-cm long strings in half.
* Step 2
Put the 2 folded strands together, and make a knot about 5 cm down.
* Step 3
Put the 2 middle strands under the first chili pepper and the two outer string over it as shown.
* Step 4
Pull up the 2 middle strands...
* Step 5
...and insert the next chili pepper under the 2 middle strands.
* Step 6
Pull the 2 middle strands to the outside.
* Step 7
Pull up the 2 strands that are now in the middle...and insert another chili pepper.
* Step 8
Pull the 2 middle strands to the outside. Repeat these steps.
* Step 9
When the braid is as long as you want it to be, tie the 4 strings together and it's done!
