My family LOVES this Chinese inspired dish so much that I always double the recipe.
The recipe calls for 3/4 tsp crushed red pepper making it pretty spicy. The first time I made it, my younger son took a drink after every bite. Now, I half the amount of red pepper. It still has a slight kick to it, but it is definitely not too hot.
Buon Appetito!
