I think the real secret to this recipe's yummyness is the sitting time to allow the sauce mix to soak in. I cut this back to 2 servings and let them sit in the fridge for about 3 hrs and it came out really delicious. No Hawaiian rolls available in my part of the world so I just used homemade Onion Buns. These made a great summer dinner with potato salad and carrot sticks.
