Just slice and toss—this is such an easy dish!
It’s one of the most popular recipes in my family.
Whenever I make this, my daughter eats an entire two servings by herself—it’s truly addictive!
Since it’s quick and simple, it’s perfect as a last-minute side dish. Try it for a snack or as an izakaya-style appetizer you won’t be able to stop eating.
