My husband and I visited Las Vegas last year. Loved it! So many lights and activities. It frazzles the senses and delights in equal measure. And the food was absolutely spectacular as so many iconic restaurant brands and chefs have set up their kitchens on the strip. So I was delighted to find this recipe from legendary Asian nightclub and food palace, Hakkasan, published in the Las Vegas Sun News https://bit.ly/1HPAG8y. Super easy, tasty and healthy – adapt at will!
