Enjoyed this for something different to make for dinner. Omitted the black bean garlic sauce and the 2 garlic cloves since I can't eat garlic while breastfeeding. Added precooked chicken leftover from previous night's meal to the sauce at the end. It was really good. Husband said too much vinegar for his taste but maybe with the garlic it would not be as noticeable. Will definitely make again.

A very tasty recipe. I added a dash of red pepper flakes and also used 1 tsp. of sesame oil. Quick and easy!
