Delicious, all intogether meal, easy for family not too hot and spicy.
All ingredients easy to have in pantry/fridge - especially ready prepared garlic and ginger (time savers indeed),.
Great as leftovers for lunches or for hungry teenagers.

This is such a great recipe. So simple and soo tasty!! We use a cast iron wok and cover with tin foil to bake. We also sometimes make it with chicken for an alternate flavour. Definitely one of my favourites!!
