I would have printed this recipe if the commercial wasn't included. I really wanted to try this recipe as you are the only American I know of that doesn't think Chinese food has to have sweetener or sugar (yuck) in their savory dishes.

Hi Ruth, The advertisements are how I am paid for the work it takes to develop, test, photograph, write, and share this recipe with readers. I'm sorry you feel you can't print out a recipe because there is an ad on it when it is free to you. Also, I do tend to like a sweetener in my savory dishes. The sweet heat flavor is something that I very much like and do have in many of my recipes. So, I'm not exactly sure where you were coming from with all this, but if you do make this recipe, I do wish you luck and hope you will enjoy it. Thanks for stopping by.
