Notes
- Xiao mi la (“millet”) chili peppers are very hot. If you don’t like your food so spicy, you can reduce the amount of xiaomila peppers or substitute milder peppers, such as Chao Tian Jiao “bullet head” peppers (medium spicy) or Er Jing Tiao (milder) peppers.
- If you do not have a steaming plate and lid for a wok, you can use a double-boiler. First, place the mushrooms and vermicelli in the largest, deepest bowl your double-boiler will accomodate. Alternately, line the bottom and sides of your double-boiler's top pan with aluminum foil. Then add water to the bottom pan of the double-boiler and bring to a boil. Place the bowl of mushrooms and vermicelli in the top pan of the double boiler, cover with the lid, and cook for 8 minutes.
