Comments
I am personally very against adding soy sauce to this dish. Not for any real (read as: taste-related) reason, but just that I don’t like the shrimp + soy sauce coloration.
When I was growing up, this dish was considered a very healthy dish for reasons that I don’t fully understand. Thought it might be worth mentioning.
Family recipe.
