I was really impressed with the outcome. I used around 4 or 5 chicken breast for the family and followed the recipe. Was surprised how much ginger they use but it was for the right reasons. Ingredients were very convenient to find as well.
ReplyDeleteYep! all the ingredients were already there sitting in my kitchen. I think the only ingredient that I had to go out to buy was the chicken.
