This was pretty tasty. I used lemon and orange zest and it lovely and fruity. It certainly was a bit different. I served it with some steamed vegetable and rice. Thanks!

We used grated lemon peel and orange peel through out the recipe for this dish. The combination of rice vinegar with orange juice is worth mentioning as it produces a nice and unique flavor to this dish. Overall, we liked this recipe.
