I love Asian inspired meals. They are flavorful and I find really quite simple to make. This recipe is simple and flavorful. Perfect for a night in with friends or when you’re really craving take-out. It also freezes well so you can make a big batch then freeze the leftovers. I’m all for cooking once and eating as many times as possible!
