This was just perfect! Served on a bed of rice. Didn't have any chili peppers and didn't know how much flakes to substitute, so I put in 4 tsp. of flakes which I thought was going to KILL us haha...but I ended up tripling the sauce to have it run onto the rice, so the heat was still really spicy but JUST right for us! Will definitely be making this again!!
