My daughter like this for breakfast, lunch, and occasionally dinner. It is quick to prepare and a hit every time.

Hmm. I really like the potential this has. The submitter says “can add veggies” but I wonder if doing that messes up the sauce ratio? Followed exact but first sautéd a small, minced zucchini and shredded a couple smaller carrots – transferred to a hot plate to keep warm and followed the rest of the recipe from there. Mixed veggies in when I added the “sauce.” 1 Tsp of sambal oelek and tsp of ginger paste? Didn’t seem to spread well. It was also light on flavor. So maybe I should have doubled? Or? Maybe missing some soy sauce? I think I need to experiment…..Thanks Nicole!!
