Reviews
This recipe as-is, is amazing! However, I prefer to use ground chicken, as I’ve found it brings out more flavor. Other than that the recipe is a 10/10!!!
Made these a few times, don’t get heavy with soy or use low sodium kind. Fresh green leaf lettuce in season is ok to use too. Its a great tasting appetizer!
Absolutely delicious!
Easy to make & tastes good. I added water chestnuts and onions. Will make again.
AMAZING! Fast, easy and DELICIOUS! Made as written (but scaled down for just me)! I’ve read some of the other reviews that discussed adding water chestnuts for texture- I’m sure that’s good, but one of the reasons I selected this recipe is because it didn’t have them in the ingredient list! This is making the regular rotation. Thanks, Sunny for another great recipe!
I forgot to add the ginger and it was still delicious! I served with carrots, cucumber, red cabbage, peanuts, sriracha. You could sub the meat for tofu. This is a keeper!
I use ground chicken instead. LOVE! This is a regular go to, it’s fast, easy and delicious.
Delicious, I used ground turkey instead of beef and added shredded carrots, because I have a habit of “vegging” up recipes. The flavors were so balanced.
Quick easy full of flavor if your looking to put food on the counter fast, this is one of the favorites
Made this using ground bison and everyone loved it! I didn’t have scallions so sautéed onion instead. I also added chopped water chestnuts – delicious and easy meal
