In reply to Daisy. I think you definitely can. I would cook everything the same way until step 5. Then transfer everything to a crockpot, along with the beans. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours.

Is it possible to tweak the recipe if I want to make it in a crockpot?

i did not have access to the fresh chilis or whole peppercorns, i ended up using chili crisp and a mix of spices called “tasty pepper salt” i found at my local asian market, and it still turned out to be the best chili ive ever made. the doubanjiang really makes it i think

In reply to Rachel. I'm glad you commented on this, Rachel, before I cook this recipe and encounter the same problem as you! I'm guessing the garlic gets cooked with the onion in the first step. Too bad the author didn't reply though!

I like it! I think I will add more cumin next time. Cumin is what really says chili to me.

Halfway through cooking and the flavours are great! But when does the garlic get added, maybe I’m not reading correctly?

In reply to Natalie Grace.

You can use gochujang, which is usually gluten-free. It is slightly sweeter but it should work.
Another option is to use black bean sauce plus chili flakes. The homemade one is gluten free: http://omnivorescookbook.com/homemade-black-bean-sauce/
For this recipe since you are already using dried chili peppers, maybe don’t even need the extra chili flakes, if it’s spicy enough.

Will try this! Do you know why God made habanero peppers? To slow roast Yankee sinners 🙂 walk in beauty

In reply to Nancy. Hi Nancy, I'm so happy to hear you made the dish and liked it! Yeah it goes great on the noodles. Sometimes I melt some cheese on top to make it fancier :)
