  1. Thai chili’s or something similar in heat. Hawaiian chili’s are very hot and aren’t sweet or fruity, they just hit hard with heat and fade off. You can even sub with serranos or jalapeño peppers for a more mild and consistent heat. Just slice them up and add to the onions when adding the pickling juice.
