Original recipe serves 4. Current scale: 1x.
This recipe is based on a spicy stir-fry served hroughout the Himalayas and the country of Bhutan. Use any type of hot chile pepper - jalapeno, Thai chiles etc. I have modified the traditional recipe to be lower in sodium and fat. The red rice makes it naturally higher in fibre.
