Whenever I cook rice, I try to make some extra. It comes so handy for a
quick lunch.

Basically what I made for lunch is a simple fried rice (with some nice
chile touch). I started with some olive oil, sauteing chopped onion, then a
sliced Anaheim, plus some other kind of pepper. Then I added 10 dried
Cayenne peppers (crumbeld / cut). A chopped baby yellow squash followed
plus some tofu.
Now here comes what makes this worth posting: I added two heaped
tablespoons 
of Korean Chilebeanpaste. A little bit of white wine, more sauteing and
then the rice and voila, lunch is ready in no time.

Now I have made and had a lot of fried rice in my life, but I guess never
have 
I combined 10 dried cayenne peppers with two heaped tablespoons of
chilebean-paste...  What a heat and what a flavor!

If you have never purchased Korean chilebeanpaste, make sure to buy the
spicy chile version. They also sell beanpaste with hardly any chile, which
wouldn't serve our purpose.

Anyone else using Korean Chilebeanpaste? Any recipes to share with all of
us?

Best regards to all,
