This is my first recipe that I am trying from the beautiful food porn book “What Katie Ate.” This book had me sold the moment I open its cover and gazed at the wonderful pictures. The recipes look straight forward and easy to make. This dish is recommended to be served over herbed rice, but I thought I would go with my fried rice. After having made this, I would reduce the amount of lemon juice. It was pretty tangy. Next time, I am going down from 3/4 cup to 1/2 cup lemon juice. And if that is still too tangy, I will go down to 1/4 cup. It was still very tasty and packed a lot of flavor.
