Listen. I’m unoriginal. If I want takeout, I hop on GrubHub and order Chinese food every time.
Asian and Asian-inspired food just hits the spot when it’s time for comfort eating, doesn’t it? That being said, getting takeout every week adds up when you have to be an adult and pay bills and all that not-so-fun stuff. There’s also the health situation. Chinese takeout isn’t exactly good for you, and that’s why this recipe is great. You can bring the Asian flavors, save some money, and control fat and sodium at the same time.
