These are delicious. Skip the peanut / safflower oil, as they are not needed and make the dish too oily.
I must confess my sins. I forgot the garlic. I had set aside two cloves and just forgot to add them in. Was still delicious. Would have been better with the garlic 🧄
i didn't use two oils - and I agree, it doesn't need both. i used the sesame oil because i like the flavor. it was delicious!
