I love this dish, and being a carnivore that’s saying a lot. The original recipe came from a friend who owned an Asian restaurant in San Francisco. Over the years, I’ve tweaked the original ingredients to suit my own cooking style, and this is the result. Whenever I serve this recipe, the bowls always come back empty, and that about sums it up. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
