Delicious recipe. I skipped the hoisin sauce since it added too much sugar and calories, but it still turned out great. -
This is terrific - quick, inexpensive, and delicious! I made just as directed and served over bean sprouts for a great healthy meal. Next time I'll add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper for a little kick. Thanks for posting this great recipe!
