Super yummy. My daughter ate two helpings (very rare)! Easy to prepare and great served over rice. - 8/11/08

The sauce on this was very good! Interesting flavor combinations. Tasted just like a sweet and sour sauce you might get in a restaurant. I think it would probably be good with pork too. - 12/15/07
