I made this today. I was delicious. I added a few drops of sesame oil at the end.
Do your cookbooks have a lot of poultry, fish, or seafood recipes? My husband has liver failure and cancer and cannot have any beef, pork, or red meat ( ie, wild game). I would like to order them when I can but wanted to know if they had recipes I could use. Thanks.
We do have a lot of chicken recipes but one of the main things about our recipes is they are very easy to adapt to most special diet needs because the are so simple and easy.
I just made this. It is so good! I can’t believe how easy it was to make. I’m adding this recipe to my rotation. Love it!
So glad you liked it Victoria. We try so hard to keep our recipes easy for you guys and us for that matter. LOL
We had this for lunch. It tasted great and is a keeper. It was so easy and fast that by the time the rice was done so was the chicken. In fact we ended up eating 30 mintes early because it was done in 15 minutes. We will be eating this again and again. Thanks for sharing your recipes!
Tasty. Easy to make
