I followed this recipe exactly, except for not having bean sprouts (and not looking before I made the recipe) or limes. Assembled all the ingredients, and then this meal was prepared in a flash, we loved it, glad top say it was a huge success. Thank you LifeIsGood, very good recipe, made and enjoyed for Think Pink 2013
