Notes

Chili Crunch can be found at your local grocery store in the Asian section or on Amazon. I have more info about it above in the faq's with some links.

You can make an extra batch of sauce for serving if you want extra sauce for rice or pasta.

If you don’t have an oven safe skillet transfer everything to a baking dish.

Any leftovers can be placed in an airtight container and should be kept in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. You can freeze leftovers for up to 3 months.
