    Yes, we want son and pop together in more videos!!! Love this dynamic, while proud mom sat in the background. This took out all the mystery of making this meal. Looks so easy. Will definitely give it a go. This is my favorite meal, along with Mongolian Beef. Shrimp with Walnuts and Spicy Eggplant also works. I miss the great PuPu Platter appetizers with the little hibachi, Crab Rangoon, Egg Rolls or Spring Rolls and Shrimp Toast, Sticky Pork Rib...and some authentic hotter-than-hot chili oil would be great.
