I thought this was pretty good, it got raves from my boyfriend. I tried it as is, then tried it with some sliced water chestnuts as well since I like the crunch from them. Made for ZWT4: Family Picks.

    For me I like this dish but my DH thought this was ok. The next time I make this I might try using different herb instead of the chinese 5 spice one.
