    We made this last night. The kids loved it (the meat more than the potatoes). It is yummy comfort food. When I do it again, I will try more soy (or maybe a little fish sauce) and a little less vinegar to give it a saltier and less sour flavor.
    I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
    This is a variation

        This sounds yummy, Julie! How did you manage to craft a 25 step recipe from 6 ingredients? Impressive! :-)
