Serve with your favorite Asian style main dish. We love it with oven baked BBQ orange pork or Asian style beef and broccoli. We top ours with a splash of soy sauce, sesame oil, and a squirt of sriracha mayo.
I often double the recipe and then use the leftover for lunches for the week! Lunch and dinner done in one simple recipe!
Have a great day!
