This is a pretty straight forward & easy recipe to follow, the longer you marinate the meat the more tender and flavorful it will be. They serve best on a bed of rice & they pair well with my Veggie Stir-Fry or Chinese Chicken Salad. Don't forget, you can substitute soy sauce for gluten free soy sauce to create a gluten free dish!
