Introduction

Don't let all the ingredients overwhelm you. It's really easier to make than it looks. The flavor is really reminiscent of Chinese lemon chicken, without the breading and frying. Not the lowest calorie meal, but considerably lower than take out, and quite satisfying. Don't let all the ingredients overwhelm you. It's really easier to make than it looks.
