Yum!! Going to add this to my file and make it with chicken, my preference with peanuts. Of course in the US this is one serving, maybe two. For people worried about 3 Tbls of oil, note that only 1 remains in the food, the rest is poured off. Even that could be reduced to 1-2 tsp. I pref peanut oil. - 5/14/13
