I get inspired every time I eat any Asian cuisine. I’m always searching for a new dish that I’ve never seen before but most of the time I’m blown away by something so simple. The combination of freshness and a few unique flavors bring together a dining experience that’s always a great time. Also, not to mention the fact that I love spicy food.


This dish can be whipped together extremely fast. The sauce can also be made ahead of time and kept in the fridge for up to 5 days. So don’t hesitate to make a double batch and use it throughout the week. Also you can always cut back on the spice or even omit the pepper if spicy food isn’t your thing.
