This Asian side dish from epicurious.com was YUMMY! And pretty healthy as well. It is definitely getting bookmarked. I added grilled chicken on top to make a complete meal.

Jamie Oliver flop – #42
November 17th, 2007 · No Comments · Review, Side
My favorite cookbook doesn’t treat me very well. Everything I make out of “Jamie’s Dinners” turns out looking and/or tasting completely wrong. It’s still my favorite cookbook though. The writing style and warm photography make it great. I also like their paper choice — a thicker uncoated text stock with a matte finish jacket.
