Add two tbsp of chili paste or more if u want it to be more spicy. Lower the flame a bit and stir fry for 1 min. Add in the chicken stock cube and stir well. At this time the chilli will start to stick to the pan, so add little bit of water and very little salt coz the chicken stock cube have salt.
