This dish has an asian flavor but with an almond twist. I made it on one of those nights where you want to eat well but you don't want to spend very much time cooking cause you are tired and just want to eat. It is really simple, really tasty and super satisfying.

This looks really good; a question about serrano pepper – how spicy is this pepper? i have a young daughter who cannot take ANY spice; will the dish be too bland if i leave it out or use a milder pepper?
It is really good. Serrano is not terribly spicy, but if your daughter cannot tolerate any spice, leave it out it will still taste good.
