“I am so sorry to share a negative review. But it seems fair. I have made so many of your recipes which I have LOVED! But this one…it tastes so artificial (and I used good beef stock for the gravy, not just a cube!) It’s the first time in my life I felt I cooke” — a cook, 2.0★

“I made it a week ago and it was fantastic. I made enough for two days. I had it with long grain rice one night and short grain (Japanese) rice the next. Both were types of rice worked great. I want to make this for my family when I visit them. Unfortuna” — a cook, 5.0★
