    I'm used to Paula making amazing dishes with butter and mayo, but this was AMAZING without either of those things! I didn't have green onion, so I just used a regular yellow onion and I added cilantro. I served with eggrolls. This was tasty and fabulous!

    This recipe is easy to make and is great for a summer lunch on the weekend. Be careful with the ginger, I overdid it the first time and it really overpowered the other flavors and took away from the light, citrus taste of the dish.

    This is absolutely my favorite Paula recipe. My family requests it all the time. I mix 1 tsp of cornstarch w/the final tablespoon of soy sauce to thicken it. IT ROCKS!
