“I made this last night - fantastic! I don't love ketchup and so don't have any in the house but a bit of vinegar and soy substituted nicely. Even my depressingly picky husband liked it. Couldn't believe how fast and easy it was. Thank you for the recipe.” — a cook, 5.0★
“Made this this last night. Both my daughter and I were very disappointed. Definitely lacks, not horrible but not at all authentic. Double checked recipe after I made it as thought I may have missed something, but no. Won’t be making again” — a cook, 1.0★
