About


This is a combination of  Asian and Western cuisine. The sauce is orange sour yet sweet with smell and taste of soy sauce. The chili flakes however is strong so you can always adjust to 1 tsp if you like. But I suggest, make it 2 tsp for a better flavor, as a whole its a lovely dish and the veggies are just perfect.
