I love to cook asian and pasta dishes. I really like trying new recipes. I'm fairly new to cooking so any recipe that turns out good is a triumph. I have found some recipes that have been so good that I called my mom to share thm with her. I once tried a recipe that called for 2 tablespoons of asian chili sauce, which I didn't have, so I substituted 2 table spoons of cruched red pepper. Needless to say it was not the say thing and the meal tasted like fire!
