The chilli is optional... it is there if you want some heat! You can always substitute with red pepper flakes if you do not have any fresh red chillis. Note: Please beware, this is highly addictive. I ate three massive bowls last night and was still wanting more!

ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer,
DeleteThanks! I know... it absolutely amazing. It is so quick and yummy!
Love the sound of this dish. Did you do a typo in the title? Only it says 'rocket' and the recipe lists 'baby spinach'... I love (and grow) both but just wondering what you used.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nina
Hi Nina.... hehehehehe it sure is! That is so funny because I check over the posts so many times before publishing and I keep continuing to see mistakes :) Thanks for the heads up! I normally use baby spinach... I just like the taste and the texture better. But you can use rocket if you desire :) Thanks for your comment.
