I love having friends and family for dinner, but don’t like spending “social time” working in the kitchen! When I can have things prepped ahead and the final cooking takes just minutes, that’s my kind of entertaining!
This is such an impressive dish to make for a party of six. The vegetables listed are the ones we enjoy, but can be modified according to everyone’s taste buds. Let your imagination be your guide.
I usually serve this over long grain brown rice, but it’s delicious over udon noodles or angel hair pasta. A final sprinkle of black sesame seeds always looks great for presentation!
