Going back on the previous > posts about grinding chiles.....tonight I did a fantastic fried rice, but I put a tbls of Thai Red chile paste in the wok as soon as I put in the peanut oil, and before I threw in the chopped up veggies, and I just about cleared the apartment. Poor Marie was coughing and snorting in the living room, and I was doing the same in the kitchen, only worse, with my kisser right over that wok! Man, did I get the egg and then the rice in there in a big hurry! And stir fried the heck outta it ! It was absolutely great, and as a lot of the heat was floating around in the ether(what we needed to knock us out!) it was not that hot, in fact hadda add some Calvin's to it as well!! Live and learn, ceptin I never seem to! Cheers, Doug in BC.....yeah, I know, Jim....wear a gas mask!
