Spicy is a great first word for this recipe! I only used 2 jalepeno peppers and it still made my nose run!! I would suggest adding some tomato paste or something to add more substance. I liked it, however it was a little too watery and spicy for my taste. Perhaps blended and with only one jalepeno? Very interesting and the dumplings are a nice touch :)
