NOTES : My variations: I was able to eliminate the cooking spray altogether in my non-stick skillet. I used pineapple juice instead of orange juice, sugar instead of honey, chili flakes instead of chili paste, and kuzu root instead of cornstarch. It came out wonderfully. This one definitely goes into my permanent file. 🙂
