  • 1/4 medium jalapeno pepper
  • 1/4 tsp lawry's seasoned salt

  4. Saute the onion jalepeno pepper and red pepper until soft. Sprinkle the drippings and veggies with 2 tablespoons of flour and make a roue.

  6. Pour over a bed of hot white rice. Before serving, finely chop the green onion and sprinkle on top.
