This sounds great!
This was wonderful.And quick and easy to toss together! The 2 tsp. of chili paste was just the right amount of heat for my husband and I. Thanks so much for the recipe!!
Recipe looks great. Is the black bean sauce purchased separately, or do the ingredients listed make up the black bean sauce?
The blackbean sauce is purchased separately. The other ingredients are added to it.
