This dish pairs wonderfully with rice or noodles, making it a worthy centerpiece for any feast. Cooking requires patience but rewards with a rich aroma and texture that blends the tenderness of meat with the crispness of vegetables. An ideal choice for those who appreciate harmonious flavors and traditional Asian combinations.
