I wish I could review this properly, but it was inedible as written. Way too much chili paste and powder. When I read "2 tablespoons chili paste" I thought "Wow, thats a lot" and I put 1 tablespoon, which still was overpowering. Then I added the chili powder, which it was not mentioned until the end of the recipe that it was optional! You can imagine how hot it would have been had I added the entire 2 tablespoons chili paste but Im afraid the table spoon each of paste and powder was still too much! I tried to submit a recipe correction to recipezaaer, because I think it should say 2 teaspoons chilipaste, but for whatever reason it wasnt accepted.

Hey there!
Thanks for stopping by to look @ my profile :)
I'll be 15 on the 11th of September 2006....Ive been using Zaar for quite a while now and I've made tons of friends so far......
I started cooking when I was umm....12 and a half and Ive been in love with it ever since...My first project was the classic batch of brownies. I used a pan that was too big and I got really really flat brownies.....For the frosting I used granulated sugar and had crunchy frosting haha.....
Ive gotten much better since then!
I tend to get discouraged very easily if something I make does not come out like it was expected to....I can even get depressed over it.....
I have plans on going to Le Courdon Bleu Sydney in mid 2008 and completing the Grand Diploma there......
This is my cat Kiara. I found her in the backyard when I was 10, and I started feeding her toast and grape jelly. She's on a normal cat's diet now haha.
