I, too, had to look up "Thai chile" and learned that a serrano can be a substitute. According to Thai Kitchen website, it is "The most common hot chili in Thailand, a small slender chili called prik kii noo or "bird's eye chili," rated the second hottest chili, coming in just under the habanero." - 1/18/09

When using Thai bird chilies seed and get as much membrane out to reduce heat, however it still will be very hot so adjust amount and slice paper thin. Bird chilies have a flavor that should not be missed if they are available. Some Asian markets have them pickled...Chef Jim
Use oil+soap for hands. - 7/19/09

WOW. Fantastic! I added all colors of bell peppers, Chinese peas and snap peas. Doubled the sauce plus added 1 t each of hoisin and soy sauces and used 13 ounces chicken. Never thought my fam would like the fish/oyster sauce but (hiding the labels) they prefered that to the soy/hoisin mixture. YUM! - 11/18/09

Freaking delicious! (I'm eating it RIGHT NOW...) I'll admit, I had a moment of consternation as I tried to figure out what a "Thai Pepper" was, but that's okay. I ended up using an eighth of a bell pepper instead (as I'm a bit wussy when it comes to spice) and some red chili flakes. Nommers! - 9/6/09

made this last night!! Delicious:) I had it over 3/4 cup of jasmine rice. The only thing I changed was that I used extra virgin olive oil (2tbs) and I made it two servings instead of four. Need a little more for dinner:) Anyone who said the taste was low use the evoo instead of a light olive oil - 11/18/09

Tasty and easy but quite salty; I'd suggest cutting back on the fish sauce. I did omit the sugar so that probably added to the saltiness but still tasted great. I followed someone else's suggestion and used 1/2 tsp pepper flakes instead of Thai peppers; that & the chili powder gave it a nice heat. - 5/21/16

This was delicious! I used leftover chicken breast, lightly steamed brocolli before adding at the end with basil. Very quick, everyone loved!! I drizzled about 2 tbsp of Yoshida's Original Gourmet Sweet and Savory Quick Marinade at the table, added a nice sweet touch. Will definitely make again! - 4/14/15

Sorry, Thai Chili is most commonly called Bird chili ( Prik Chi A), not birds eye (prik kii noo) which is small, hard and very hot. The prik kii noo has almost no flavor, only bitter heat. Birds eye is 1/4 the size of Bird chili. Most super markets list Bird chiles as "thai Chili" Check Whole Foods - 6/4/12
