Recipe Notes

-I add lots and lots of black pepper, it is the standout flavor, among others, in this recipe.  But of course, you can customize to your liking if you don’t want it that spicy.

-Be careful not to burn the garlic!  Garlic burns easily even at medium heat, so don’t sauté for more than a minute, at the most!

-Another great complimentary sauce to go along with the peanut butter is dijon mustard.  Drizzling a little bit on top adds a nice spicy and sour kick!

-If i want to cheat a little, I’ll add some sweet chili sauce.   This will add some sweetness to the dish, but note that this will increase the carb and sugar content.
