I fell in love with this dish years ago but only recently discovered how easy it is to make at home. I love the mix of flavors and textures; salty, sweet, sour, crunchy, soft, chewy. Also, I pretty much like anything with soy sauce in it. This is a one-pan dinner that cooks quickly, and you can easily add and substitute vegetables or protein to suit your own taste or diet. I like to add chicken to make it a complete hearty meal but you can leave it out to keep it vegetarian.
