I love Food & Wine magazine. . not only for the wine suggestions/pairings with food but also the great, delicious recipes! I subscribe to their daily emails with recipes and wanted to share this one; especially since my kitchen is going to be a un-useable disaster zone while we pack and move over the next couple of weeks. And then I will be in temporary housing in Seattle for a week. . so please enjoy this recipe in the meantime. . one of my favorites!

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium
