This is the dish we all love to get when we go out, especially a place like PF Chang’s, but seriously, do you know how much oil they use? It is buckets! Well, not in my version. I make them even better and (better for you). I just love these and you can use all types of sauces. I like it sweet-spicy. Yum.
Easy to make and great appetizers. Eat your heart out PF Changs!!
