This dish was very spicy but I really liked it. I did make a few changes for instance, I made the sauce a little thicker then what the recipe called for by adding a little corn starch and water. It came out really good.

Too spicy and too thin. Needs a thickener.

The recipe was easy to follow and had really good flavor. I made a few adjustments, and added some spicy cajun sausage, and thickend the sauce a little. Very hearty, my family loved it!!
