An ABSOLUTE HIT!!! The entire family loved it. For the most part we followed the recipe except we didnt have ginger in the house or star anise so we substituted a little of some Indian and Moroccan rubs we had- just a pinch of each. It definitely is a refined taste- a little on the sweet side and really not too salty as some others complained about , but we used all low sodium products. The fam is already asking for seconds and when I am going to make it again!!! THANK YOU!!!

I wish I could give this negative stars. I am confounded by all the positive reviews. This tasted, well, BLAH. It was so BLAH, in fact, that it bordered on disgusting. I followed the recipe to a tee, and I have to say it was probably the worst thing i've ever made. Even adding some hot sauce and soy sauce couldn't make this edible. Who'd a thunk such simple, yet yummy, ingredients, when combined, could become so tragically bland?
