    Love it! This is yummy and light, I like it with some lime on top and it makes a great dinner with a side of crispy salad. Rice vinegar and sesame oil may not be normal pantry additions, but I recommend having both on hand if you love asian foods! - 5/24/12

    I am looking forward to trying this recipe but I have to shop for ingredients not on my shelf. I would watch the salt in all of ingredients and maybe try substituting Quinoa for the rice and try it that way. - 2/6/10
