Making this Paula Deen dish my students learned many skills. Some of these skills I thought were just a given. You know like washing dishes and knife safety. Either I did not do such a hot job when we discussed these topics or in the excitement of preparing and eating such a delicious meal they did not rank up there with what was important. Anyway we all learned from our mistakes and I still have all of my fingers!
I love this recipe! It is always a hit with my students. If you’re not a fan of Paula Dean because you think that everything she makes is unhealthy think again. This recipe is full of flavor and very healthy. The sesame oil, chile paste, and soy sauce are the players that do their magic lighting up the taste buds. Here is the recipe and if you have a few minutes the video on the home page is the demonstration that I did last fall of this very recipe. While you’re here take a look at what the future holds for the these cooking stars.
