Author's Notes

Yields 2-4 servings.

You can easily find them in any Eastern Asian grocery shop around the world.

Most ready-made chili bean sauces use a small amount of wheat, so even though this dish looks fairly innocent; it’s NOT gluten-free. For a gluten-free version, replace the chili bean sauce with gluten-free chili oil.

Regular soy sauce is made with fermented wheat. Use gluten-free soy sauce if you are gluten intolerant.
