This was very simple, and very delicious. I used more chili flakes than asked for per our tastes, and also used a bit more garlic. This was very good; I will be making it again :) Thanks

I hvt agree w/BonnieZ. This recipe is a great BASE. I lacks something: sweet chili sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, additions of this nature wld definitely liven up this dish. It's relatively EZ w/the potential t/b great. TY for sharing. ;)

I found this to be just ok. The recipe as written was bland for our taste and the blend of flavors a bit off. I wish I would have read the prior review as an increase in the chili flakes, garlic and ginger would have made a difference. Thank you Just Married for sharing the recipe.
