We enjoyed this very much. I didn't have the green onions, but will make sure to have them on hand next time! I added a little garlic powder and onion powder to the sauce. Will definitely make again. I think I will use this same method with chicken breasts and chicken broth.

This dish was a hit with my boyfriend and I. We love asian cuisine and the meat cooked very well and so juicy. I made brown steamed rice for our side and we also added sushimi tuna as an extra side as well. Yum.
