  3. Thanks for the recipe! I was looking for an easy rice to make on a monday and this was great. We had to change it a bit to use chili pastes instead of the actual chilies since that is what I had on hand – and it was pretty fiery. I was wondering (for the future) what your “Spicyness” scale is based off of – one to 5, or one to 10 (because obviously then we are wimps and should plan accordingly!)

    • Thanks and really sorry..We are mentioning the spice level in the scale of 1 to 5. I missed in this recipe. Sorry for the mistake.
