Perfect just the way it is! And very easy to make. I was skeptical at first with the combination of spices, I am not really a fan of chili powder. But it works! I would think that you could also use pork in this, thought it would change the fat content, I'm sure. A keeper for us as we work on lowering fat in our diet and overall improving our eating habits. My 7 year old daughter didn't care for it, but she likes calamari and king crab so I am not worrying about it!

This recipe was really good! I made it for my sister and my boyfriend and everyone liked it! I though it tasted like a lemony sweet and sour chicken. (I left out the ginger... because I don't like it) Definitely making it again!!! new addition to old review: I had originally only given this 4 stars but since the first time... I make it at least once a month because I crave it! Simple but soooo good! I now add the ginger and it is good. The only thing I do different is use wheat flour. Mmmm!
