    When I made it the first time, I found that it needed something to spice it up. Being on a low-sodium diet, I had to be careful what I added. So I added 1/2 tsp. Chinese Five Spice and it tasted much better the 2nd time I made it. There is zero sodium in this spice and it can be used in other recipes too.

    This was too bland for my tastes or my guests even after letting the flavors blend in the refrig for over 1 hour. With the "left over" I tried adding some additional spices but not too much success. Overall I was disappointed.
