Wow! Made this tonight and it was perfect! Topped with some sriracha sauce and it’ll be going into my regular dinner rotation. Thank you!
Oh yum, sriracha sounds amazing.
I thought it was very good but the half teaspoon of red pepper flakes made it too spicy for me. My husband liked the spiciness, though!
I’m glad you liked it. I would love to hear how you like it with less red pepper flakes.
The family loved this! I made a little extra sauce (with fresh grated ginger and just a wee bit more sugar because we like it sweet) and mixed in some peppers and steamed broccoli. Perfect easy dinner. Thanks!
