I am so happy you posted this recipe! We ate this dish many times in Taiwan. It is sooo good!<br/>I didn't write the recipe, thought I could remember all ingredients. It was never the same, because I couldn't remember all and measurements. Make sure you serve with hard boiled eggs. If you refrigerate leftovers, it will be spicier. Again, thank you.
