It would have been better with a little more spice and rice - 12/8/10

I just usually spice to taste, so it's kind of hard to write it down. I like things spicy too. I was trying to keep the bottom line (no pun intended) down when it came to the calories - thus no rice. You could always put it on top of some rice and count the additional. Thanks for rating!
