Serving a dish that is this diverse with so many different flavors can get a little tricky. However, we have a few simple ideas for you, that will pair perfectly with this dish.
Here is what we recommend:

Sounds simple and heavenly
The ingredients state chili powder, but the instructions state chili paste–which one is correct?
Chili powder is correct. We fixed it. Sorry about that! 🙂
Tried out this recipe and it was a hit with my husband and even my kiddos. I omitted the oil as we don’t care for Sesame, and added a bit of ketchup to the sauce to give it some body…AMAZING!!! Also added extra veggies to make it go further. Going in my weekly recipe box for sure!! Thank you!!
What brand of chili sauce would you recommend buying?
It only calls for 1 Tablespoon. We would be fine using a store brand or Heinz. Whatever you can find at the store. It’s basically ketchup with a “kick”.
