Sach Ko Slirk S’krey Chomka (Spicy Cambodian Lemon Grass Beef Kebabs)
Finger Hot is the commercial name for this asian-type pepper that is actually very similar to fresh cayenne and can be used in any recipe to add heat without changing the flavor. It is a good chile to chop and use in stir fry.
They are thin-walled and measure about 1/2″ wide and 5″ to 8″ long. These chiles also dry very nicely.

Preheat the grill to a high temperature, then turn the heat down to medium.
