WARNINGS:
> This recipe, if made as suggested, can be very spicy. We
normally cut the amount of chili powder by half, although
that is personal preference. Experiment with it.
COMMENTS: My wife and I got this recipe from the back of a package of
Tempeh. We have successfully used it with chicken chunks
also; in fact, we prefer it that way.
