This was great. I made it tonight. I was a bit scared it wouldn't turn out as when I tasted the mixture it was very spicy and the soy sauce was very overpowering. But it turned out great. I used 1/2 tsp of cayenne, mine says it's extra hot so I am really glad I didn't put the whole tsp in as it would have been too spicy. I used red spanish onions as that's all I had. I only let the meat sit with the sauce for 10-15 minutes as I found the recipe today. So next time I will definitely let it set overnight! Thanks for sharing!

<p>I live with my husband, four cats, and a sweet mutt named Jada in Scarborough, Ontario, where I work as an elementary school administrative assistant. I have a 31 year old daughter who lives with her boyfriend in nearby Don Mills, along with my sweet granddogs, Frankie and Turbo. I would have to say that my passion is animals, since I have so many of them! <br /><img src=http://images.quizilla.com/H/h0t5auce/1108834307_brown_answer.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/532663/cookswithcattitude.JPG alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/CalendarGirlsSwap2009.jpg alt= /> <br /><br />If I had a month off work to do what I please, I would first catch up on my sleep and then just have fun - see a few movies and maybe take a couple of short trips - something that wouldn't break the bank - lol!</p>
