This was a really fun and delicious lunch! I omitted the soy and added smoked paprika, garlic, and pepper. Thanks for recipe!
Great taste!
This was very nice but a little too bland for me. I made it on a multi-grain baguette. Next time I would use fresh ginger to give it the kick it needs.
I tried the recipe out, but found it to be too bland for me. So I added salt, onion powder, garlic powder, chipotle powder, paprika and some red cayenne powder to spice things up a bit. I added the spices in about 1/8 – 1/4 teaspoon amounts and tried the adjustments on four triangles of bread until I got the taste I liked. (It then wasn’t an asian dish anymore.)
Dim sum is one of my favorite things. This is very close to what I get at the Chinese resturaunt. I am so glad to have this recipe! Thanks Cheftell!
I have had this before ,but made Chinese style with sesame oil and green onion in the raw chicken mix,then deep fried in a wok ,,it was fantastic…….
