One trick I’ve found really useful: sample frequently, and if a dish is too hot, adding small amounts of sugar will reduce the heat. Just be careful not to add too much–I accidentally created “sweet chili” that way. Bleah. Little amounts, though, won’t negatively affect the flavor, and can even enhance it a little. 🙂
