This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll use less chili sauce next time.

This dish was a bit too sweet for me. I think I'll try making it with less sugar next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices or herbs.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. The flavors were all there, and the cucumber added a nice touch of freshness. I'll probably try making it again with less chili sauce next time.
