* We all really enjoyed this recipe it took me a while to find the black bean sauce but I finally found a garlic black bean sauce at an Asian market and it tasted great. Be sure to add it to this recipe. I think that if I made it again I would even add a little more to it. But other then that everyone liked it I give it a 4 1/2
