Today's featured recipe is two of the many dish combination that I normally cook which I truly enjoy. I enjoy this dish so much because its a little spicy. Don't get too intimidated as you can always adjust the heat and the kick of your dish. It so happen that I like spicy food and more heat on it the better. It is not so fancy but it's really easy to prepare. The ingredients are not that difficult to find as well. Anyway, every time I post a recipe here and the ingredient/s is difficult to find, I always make some recommendation on where to find it or we can always look for a substitute for it. Head on to the ingredients and let's start cooking.
