I'm korean so I loved the heat! It was so simple and seemed so healthy b/c it cooks so well w/o the oil. Great thing about this dish is that you can change the spiciness or even the meat and the dish still tastes great! :) I personally love tender meat, so the thinner you cut the meat the better, I thought. Tastes very similar to a traditional korean spicy pork bulgogi dish.

This is just way to spicy for us... and we love our food with heat! I think maybe halving the red pepper flakes would make it a bit more palatable... It has a lovely presentation and smells wonderful while cooking, I just wish we could have tasted something other than "hot!" We will try this one again, just with fewer pepper flakes... Thanks!

MMMM, Jelisa, this is an awesome and easy meal! It had the perfect balance of heat and sweet flavors from the carrots and sugar. I kept looking at the recipe thinking, "really? just toss it all in there together and cook with no oil?" but I decided to trust you, LOL. Good thing I did -- because this was yummy. I used Stevia instead of sugar, but did not make any other changes.
