I've used this recipe two times - the second time, I doubled the ingredients for the sauce. It's so flavorful, we wanted more! Yum!

Made this years ago. I loved it, hubby and daughter didn't love it so much.

I was surprised how good the sauce tasted. I thought it might be too salty because of the soy sauce, but with the brown sugar and red pepper flakes it was very good. I will definately make it again.
