This is a recipe I got from my mom. I like it because it calls for just a few ingredients and I usually have them all on hand for a last minute meal. Serve over rice or noodles.

I have always wanted to try this but was afraid it would be too spicy for the kids (and let's be honest, I'm a bit of a wimp in the spice area!). Is R able to eat it without any issues?
ReplyDeleteR likes it but if she's going to have some I use less pepper flakes (maybe 1/4 tsp instead). Do it!
ReplyDeleteThis was tasty but I think the next time I try it I'll add more peppers. I like lots of veggies in my soups :)
