Yummm :)
So delicious - the best HFG recipe we have had (not to be confused with the latest lemon chicken recipe featured in the March 2012 mag).
Will definitely be making again!
Very tasty and easy!! Will make again but with more asain inspired vege! The man in the house loved it too!
i cant wait to try this sounds delicious <3
Delicious! Next time will make double or even triple the amount of sauce - was a little dry!
where's step 3? i confused
Simple and tasty. But I would double the sauce next time so that it is a little more saucy plus add some veges in the mix.
A little bit confused with the amount of lemon needed- do i use one lemon or do I use 1/4C lemon juice? 1 lemon does not make 1/4 cup of juice...?
Hi - it probably depends a bit on your lemon! They do vary. So you're going to need 1/4 cup juice - it may not take the whole lemon. Hope that helps! -N
Delicious, so fast and easy to make.
