Notes
*Jay Fai typically uses Chinese celery in the dish, which needs to be cooked with the onions and chilis. If using Chinese celery, omit the scallions and cilantro.
**Large red chifa chilis are known as Goat's Horn Peppers. Bird's eye chilis are not typically used in this recipe.
***Any high-quality curry powder will work.
