"All my jobs have been with food in one way or another since 1948. My parents were in the hotel business, and I just loved the warm hearted people who worked so hard with such good humor."
-Graham Kerr, Chef

The refrigerator light goes on...

This is a super easy recipe. Because the ingredients all cook quickly it really does only take about 5 minutes to cook. If you want it to be spicier, add another half teaspoon of chili oil. If you want it less hot, don't add any - the other spices are enough to give this great flavor without the heat.
