"Better than a five-star restaurant, and won't stick to your gut (or butt). Refreshing and delicious, with amazingly zesty flavor that rivals any of my favorite New York City gourmet destinations -- and it's easy!! Amazingly, my husband adapted a recipe he found and I'll love him dearly forever for finding it... Our secret revealed..."

This turned out really wonderful. To speed up the operation even more I used chicken tenders and pre-minced ginger that comes in a squeeze tube. Nothing better than a one dish meal that tastes good!!
