Yesterday I shared a spicy recipe which was a new flavor profile for me. (and yes, I’m watching a lot of Top Chef these days) Today was Dan’s turn to try something he hasn’t traditionally liked. Generally Dan avoids dishes with soy sauce in them so I was surprised when I came home to Dan making this dish.
While I loved the flavors of this dish (I do love Chinese food! Especially when it isn’t coated in syrupy sauces) Dan just thought it was just ok. But hey that is much better than his usual reaction to Chinese food!
