  1. Very disappointing... One star for easy preparation.2nd star because the cat ate it after I washed all the sauce off. Something I will definitely not try again
     
  2. My auntie made something like this during Chinese New Year! She added sambal chili and didn't have any egg nor water, so the sauce was really thick and yummy with rice. Also, she fried it with a lot of garlic (I think I saw an entire mountain on the chopping board). Thank you for posting the recipe:D
     
  3. Great dish!! I added in some chilli sauce as well to give it a little spice...Was really great...Now I wish I knew how to make those deep fried buns they sometimes serve in chinese restaurant to go with this dish......
     
  4. Awesome, wonderful... The wife made this skeptically and we were pleasantly surprised... Super easy to make, took all in all about 10 mins total for the 2 of us... We served it over basmati rice.. This is a new household favorite..
     
  5. Who needs a complicated recipe? This was quick and easy and so worth the effort. Highly recommended.
