Reviews
I made this with Ground Turkey and it was fantastic! We were wary of the mint, so made a batch with and another without. The mint gives it an interesting taste, but in the end decided we liked the mint.
WOW!! I just made this and the flavors are spectacular together! Definitely will be making this all the time. Just 7 ingredients and it was ready in 25 minutes. (I didn’t have mint, so I used cilantro instead. I used a bit less of each sauce, but equal amounts like recipe said) Thank you for this Fabulous recipe!!!
Start with 1/2 of the Hoison Sauce and add to taste at the end.
I made it with diced chicken breast and added a tablespoon of corn starch with some of the sauce to thicken it.
