Notes
I like the extra flavor and Asian flair from the sesame oil, but you could just use extra olive oil if you don’t have any.
I prefer grated fresh ginger for this recipe, but you could use ¼ teaspoon ground ginger if that’s all you have.
Like it spicy? Add ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes to give this a little kick.
Finally, you can serve this with extra soy sauce, green onions and sesame seeds if you’d like.
