  1. Can someone review this recipe? I feel it must be incomplete. The description mentions ginger and chili flakes but they don’t appear in the recipe. Should they be part of the marinade or the sauce?

    2. I see in the one exchange section there is 1 milk =1/2 cup milk. Do not see any milk in the recipe. Please advise.

  2. Delicious! Would doubling the sauce amount to too much sodium. I felt this recipe needed a little more sauce. I added some cooked white rice on the side.
