I'm cooking a Thai recipe. Can anyone tell me what I could substitute for Red pepper flakes?

I have actual red pepper but not sure that is the point of the flakes? Are they hot like chilli? Thanks

I would imagine that it would be chilli - have you got any chilli powder, or chilli sauce?

yep - chilli

THANKS! I have some crushed chilli so I'll use a bit of that. You are indeed worth it
