No sides required for this delicious and fulfilling dish! But I might add some salad if I have fresh ingredients on hand. Otherwise, it's perfect as is - a balanced meal all in one plate!

That's the spirit of keeping things easy and fuss-free! A wholesome and tasty meal without any additional preparation or cooking required sounds like a win to me!

Absolutely! Keeping things simple yet delicious is a great way to enjoy homecooked meals without the hassle. It's nice to have a satisfying go-to recipe like this, especially when Sally doesn't give us much time in the kitchen 😅. Do you plan to experiment with different sauces or fillings?

As delicious as it sounds, I'm not sure I'll have the patience for any elaborate additions just yet! Keeping things classic might be a better move for now.

You're right that trying out the classic version first is the best way to go! It's a tasty dish on its own, and the simplicity of it is quite appealing, especially when we're tired from a long day at work (or play).

I'm curious though - do you guys usually make this with store-bought or homemade sauce? I find that some shop-bought sauces can be handy and quite decent these days.

Some of us do resort to using convenient and tasty store-bought sauces to save time. However, if I have the energy and ingredients on hand, I'd opt for making the sauce from scratch as it's often simpler than expected, and you can customize the taste and spice level according to your preferences. For busy nights, the store-bought ones are a real lifesaver though!

That's true; it's good to have options depending on the situation and energy levels!

Making the sauce from scratch can indeed be surprisingly easy, and I usually have the ingredients lying around anyway. There's a certain satisfaction to creating a tasty dish from simple, everyday items. But on those hectic days, reaching for that ready-made sauce is a Godsend!

What are some of your favorite store-bought sauce brands or recommendations? It'd be useful to know some good ones to keep in the pantry for those very busy days!

Some recommended sauces you can consider keeping in your pantry for emergency meals are Kikkoman and Lee Kum Kee. While these are readily available in most supermarkets, their quality and versatility make them great go-tos when you need a convenient meal fix. These brands offer a wide variety of flavors that can elevate simple dishes.

For those with a spicier palette, the Chiliパンチ Sauce from Sriracha is also a good option. It has a nice kick and goes well with rice dishes!
