This is so yummy! I doubled the sauce like other reviewers suggested...I served it over quinoa using recipe #235534 and a side of steamed broccoli for an excellent meal...I also used fresh minced ginger instead of the powder stuff...made for "Help a Naked Recipe" tag game for recipes without photos...

I live in Victoria, British Columbia. I am happily married to the most wonderful guy on earth:) Aside from being a wanna be chef, I am also a wanna be children's book author, and a famous crooner in the shower aside from being a frustrated painter/illustrator and a real trying hard golfer.
I love experimenting with different dishes from countries all over the world. I am constantly experimenting with new recipes and different types of fresh herbs and spices.
I collect cookbooks and magazines. Most of the recipes I've posted and I will be posting are from the different magazines such as Bon Appetite, Chatelaine, Cucina, Hello, Home Maker and Gourmet. I will also try to post recipes that I've grown up with as well as those that came from family and friends.
