Thank you Kittencal, for a wonderful recipe. This was so easy, I couldn't believe it. Proportions are great, though I did add a few more red pepper flakes at the end. Also used only 2T of veg oil and 1T of sesame oil to fry. Came out absolutely great. I'll try variations in the future, but this is a base for a really great meal!
