Feel free to use any pickled chile that you find at your local supermarket.
My personal favorite is thePickled Chili by LAOGANMA, though they tend to be on the spicier end.

Add the peppers and give it a good stir.
For added flavor, add sliced garlic or whole garlic cloves.
Cover and let the chiles pickle overnight in the refrigerator.
For the best flavor, let the chiles pickle for at least 24 hours before using them.
In the refrigerator, the chiles can last up to a week.
Lets use thisChicken Fried Rice recipeas an example.
First, gather all your ingredients and chop the pickled chiles if they are whole.
Have your proteins diced, your eggs beaten, and your seasoning and sauces all close by.
Get the wok or skillet hot before adding oil, then scramble the eggs.
Remove the eggs and stir fry the other ingredients until golden brown, including the pickled chiles.
This way, you get the added tang and spiciness in controlled bites, when youre ready for it.
