MMMmmm, is right! This made a wonderful and filling dinner for three adults...too good to share with a fourth! Some small changes: I used chicken breasts(2), did not need the rest of the oil for step #8, used egg whites(3)instead of whole eggs, and 11/2 tbls lite soy sauce. Bergy, this is one fine dish!, thanks.
