We really enjoyed this with Chinese Roasted Chicken. It was a welcome change from rice and I loved the charred scallions.

I made this last night to serve with Korean beef. YUM! I only made 1/2 a recipe b/c DH wasn't going to make it home in time for dinner, but I'll be making this one again. Easy and tasty! I'm having the leftovers at lunch today.

Very quick and tasty alternative to rice. I prepared this as a side with Chinese-Style Spareribs (Chinese-Style Spareribs) and The Best Fast Broccoli (The Best Fast Broccoli). I used toasted sesame oil in the recipe for added flavor. I must say that this makes a lot. Even with 2 guys having hearty appetites, there was a great deal left over from our meal for 4.

This was quick and easy. I used additional sesame oil to drizzle after it was mixed. Be sure to use salt as it really does give the dish a boost in flavor. I would have liked more sesame seeds and next time will try sprinkling them on top after the onions are mixed in. Great after work side dish.
