Very tasty. I took some out of the pan for Mister 5 before I added the sauce so we could enjoy a little extra spice! I used udon noodles. Will definitely cook again.
I really want to make such a dish, but … I don’t know how to cook :v
Anyway, thanks for sharing this post!
I really like it!
Came out great for such few ingredients! The sauce thickened up nicely— I was worried it wouldn’t because I took out the sugar and doubled the chicken which increased the amount of juices mixed in with the sauce. Still had tons of flavor
