I liked the recipe and thank you for sharing 😋. I used one tablespoon of honey instead of brown sugar and didn’t have garlic chili sauce, so made my own with a little chili spice and garlic. Everything else I followed the recipe. I will be making it again.

I made this and it was so good! I didn’t have garlic chili sauce but I mixed all the sauce ingredients with Thai chilis and 2 cloves of garlic and it was super delicious.
