Sometimes we just crave something different and with many of our favorite restaurants being affected by global quantities we are begging for something delicious, easy and reminiscent of our favorite cuisines! We love this recipe because it’s all the flavor and half the price tag and so fun to make! If you find this recipe too spicy, simply swap the spicy sesame oil for your basic version or half and half for just a bit of flare! Enjoy!
