Fast and easy to make, extremely zesty and worth making more than once wish I could give a higher rating.
Really healthy and delicious meal for one or two people, I made this for myself and felt very refreshed after eating it.
Peas were very mushy and had a weird taste I guess because I bought them frozen, next time going for canned peas.
Took no time at all to perfect this meal thanks to the amazing instructions, really appreciate how you guys do your best to show how to make this properly, 5 stars all the way.
Could not wait to try this out and I was NOT disappointed! Very pleasant meal, thx.
