Fixed this tonight for dinner and cut the recipe in half. I kept the sauce the same to put over Recipe#214378#214378 and served with Recipe#408950#408950. Followed the recipe except I used over a half of jalapeno, added minced garlic and topped with slivered green onions. Fantastic!! DH said "make at least once a week". Next time I would cut down on the brown sugar. Used thick tilapia. Made for Zaar Alphabet Soup Game.

Talk about a dish packed with flavor and more flavor! Holy smokes! As soon as that soy sauce hit the pan there were heads perking up in the other room, noses sniffing, and inquiring minds wanted to know what I was making for supper. I used candied ginger as I don't have the other stuff on hand. And I used canola oil as my good stuff is at my other home (we're between two houses just now). I know that may have affected the taste a bit, but I was already so impressed with the recipe it could only be BETTER! Thanks for an excellent recipe.

This is a very quick and tasty dish. I halved the recipe and used 1 teaspoon sambal oleak instead of chopped fresh chilli, I also added a finely chopped green onion at the end for taste and presentation. Will definately make this again.
