We loved this recipe – My kids gobbled it up – the flavor was just right. Served with rice.
Thank you for your feedback. I am so glad you enjoyed it!
Can you put this on the “keep warm” setting afterwards? If so, how long can you keep it there before it starts to get gross? Thank you so much.
You can put it on “keep warm”. I wouldn’t leave it for more than a few hours though.
