Thanks so much!
Beautiful!
Thanks for visitng my blog. I am going to give this recipe a once over. Need to change a few ingredients to make it Paleo friendly, i.e., soy sauce, canned pineapple and the brown sugar. It still looks amazing.
What is Paleo friendly? Thanks for stoping by, I’m glad you still like my recipe!
Lots of wonderful flavour combinations in there, and stunning pictures, love the tower.
Cheers

Thanks!! They are a great addition to any kitchen and perfect to give height to any dish! Happy New Year!
The dish looks amazing – any suggestions on what I could use to replace they soy sauce (I’m allergic to the darn thing) but savoring what looks like just a delightful masterpiece.
Hi! Sorry to hear that you are allergic to soy! I would recommend checking out this recipe http://allrecipes.com/recipe/soy-sauce-substitute/ or using a mix of bean paste, fish sauce and water.
Thanks for stopping by!
Hi this is a great suggestion, will look into it. Thank you so much!
No problem and happy new year!!!!
Happy New Year!
