Zi Char Pickle Chili
Singapore-Style Pickled Green Chili
Zi Char Pickle Chili is the essential sidekick found on every Singapore Zi Char table — lightly pickled green chilies with just the right balance of tang, heat, and crunch. Made in small batches with locally grown peppers from Olde Moon Farm, this chili cuts through rich noodles, gravies, and stir-fries, adding brightness and bite to every dish. No MSG. No preservatives. Just pure, crave-worthy flavor.
煮炒 (Zi Char) is one of Singapore’s most beloved casual dining traditions — a place where menus run long, woks stay hot, and everything is cooked to order. Think sizzling stir-fries, bold flavors, and endless noodle permutations.
At every proper Zi Char spot, sambal and pickled green chilies arrive automatically at the table. No fanfare. No fancy name. Just an essential condiment that ties everything together. This is that pickled chili.
We simply call it Zi Char Chili — lightly pickled green peppers with vinegar, salt, and sugar. Tangy, spicy, and deeply addictive.
What It Tastes Like
Bright acidity up front.
A gentle sweetness to balance the heat.
Clean chili spice that cuts through rich, saucy dishes.
It’s the kind of condiment you keep reaching for — especially with noodles, tacos or anytime you need a spicy tangy pickle!
Made with Local, Seasonal Peppers
This batch of peppers comes from Olde Moon Farm in Silverton, grown by farmers Adam and Hannah. Like all of our pickles, it’s made in small batches using seasonal produce shaped by nature’s elements.
Because of that, slight variations between batches may occur — but every jar delivers the same crave-worthy balance of tangy heat.
How to Use It
Zi Char Chili is a natural match for noodles, but don’t stop there:
