How hot is Spiced Vinegar Dip?

Yes, it is properly hot. The heat in Spiced Vinegar Dip comes from 4 bird's eye chilies, chopped. For a milder plate, remove the seeds and ribs from the chilies, or use half; nothing else in the method changes. For more, add it at the table rather than in the pot, so everyone sets their own level.
