Absolutely fantastic!!! I just inhaled it now...
I didn't have all of the ingredients so I made some substitutes. Rice wine vinegar, purevia sweetner (1/2 amt since it's sweeter than sugar), chili powder, and regular soysauce but 1/4 less. Turned out wonderful. I can't wait to make it again! - 9/28/10
