REVIEW:

This was OK. I seemed like it was lacking something. It needed pizzazz. Chris suggested adding a little garlic next time. I think a little red pepper flake would add some zip. I was also thinking of adding some soy sauce or sesame oil. I will make it again with some renovations. We had it over rice, but it would be good with egg noodles.
