Five star! This was awesome and just like the hibachi grill restaurants we love, but know are not as healthy. I made it with chicken breasts cut in pieces instead, added some ginger paste to the sauce and subbed almonds instead of peanuts since they are more beneficial for me. Will be a weekly staple. Thank you!
