SO HOW'D IT GO?
I always forget how lovely and simple this is until I make it. I double the sauce and tonight I stir fried carrot, onion and added kale at the end. It is SOOO delicious. I wish someone else would make this so we could talk about it together. :)
So quick and easy, and I always have the ingredients on hand.
I can't believe no one else has reviewed this yet!
It's very delicious....try it! You probably have all of the ingredients.
This was so easy and quick, and very tasty! The perfect solution for my almost-going-sour block of tofu.
Thank you!
