The plant type ranges from short to tall, with strong branching, and the leaves are small or medium. The fruits generally hang downward and are long-horn-shaped, with pointed tips and slight curvature, resembling ox horns, sheep horns, or lines. The flesh is thin or thick; thin-fleshed ones with a strong pungent taste are used for drying, pickling, or making chili sauce, such as Shaanxi's Large Horn Pepper; thick-fleshed ones with moderate pungency are for fresh eating, such as Changsha Ox Horn Pepper, etc.;

2. How to stir-fry chili peppers so they are not spicy?
1. Before stir-frying the chili peppers, put them in a little salt and marinate them slightly for 3 to 5 minutes; dried ones can also be marinated for a few more minutes. Other seasonings can also be omitted according to personal preference. Then, do not let the oil temperature get too high (just beginning to roll is best).
2. Remember to remove the seeds when stir-frying chili peppers, and the cooking time should not be too long. For example, stir-fry quickly over high heat a few times, and when the food is almost cooked, add them and stir-fry a few more times; basically they will not be spicy.
3. Use high heat when stir-frying chili peppers. High heat can reduce cooking time while preserving the aroma of the chili peppers.
4. When making sweet and spicy dishes, appropriately adding some sugar and vinegar will keep them from being too spicy.
