I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the chicken from this recipe. It was still very flavorful and satisfying.

I'm allergic to sesame seeds, so I substituted sunflower seeds in the sauce. It was still delicious!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I added some shredded chicken and it was a complete meal.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the sauce didn't turn out right. It was too thick and gloppy.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use more seasoning.
