This makes excellent appetizer or entree. Although not Japanese, the taste is very familiar to me from some of the Japanese dishes and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I used Japanese style spicy sesame sauce with soy sauce for the sauce and it went really well together. I like to make this next time with mild white fish such as cod or halibut. Thank you Jewelies for posting this yummy recipe.
