Breno likes this with less lemon flavor (half a lemon) and less salt (soy sauce).
glad you tried it! We like it with lots of lemon :) but less salt wouldn't hurt that is for sure.
This was ok. I don't think I'm a big fan of the stir fry flavor but I'm trying to incorporate it more into our diet because it's an easy and healthy way to cook.
How do I use the lemon? Lemon juice? Sliced lemon with or without peel?
I agree Ruth, low sodium soy sauce might be good.
Note to self: use half suggested red pepper.
I wash and slice the lemon and leave the peal on. I use no red pepper.
Um, peel.
