Perfect! I do love this dish, but never think to make it...it's just too simple & yummy ;-). Thanks for the recipe...I've never thought to add extra veggies & tofu!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try this! On to the shopping list this goes : )
ReplyDeleteOh, the shopping list, indeed... It's funny because every time I make this I forget to add something. The first time I made it, I forgot to add the sesame oil, the second time I made it I forgot the green onions, the next time, I forgot to add the the tofu which was sitting patiently in the refrigerator, and most recently I forgot to add the roasted peanuts... Still, the dish is delicious every time!
