A creamy pepper gravy that is sure to please everyone! This white sauce goes great on fries, mashed potatoes, and meats. If you are wary of adding all of the pepper, add a teaspoon at a time and taste. I like mine really peppery, so I always use about 2 tablespoons. My mother doesn't like it so peppery, so she tends to use 1 or 1 1/2 tablespoons. The best part about this recipe is that you can adjust the spice to your liking.

Korean Spicy Chicken Rice Noodle Bake
This Korean spicy chicken rice noodle bake is not only my new favorite spicy chicken, it's also my new favorite way to cook rice noodles. Chicken is marinated briefly in a gochujang marinade, then dry rice vermicelli goes directly into the baking dish, chicken thighs are placed on top, and the dish bakes quickly to perfection. As a bonus, the leftovers can be served cold on greens for an amazing salad.
