Hi....not everyone has access to a supermarket that carries sesame seeds and oils,chilli-garlic sauce and rice vinegar.

Recipe sounds interesting...but needs more "TRADITIONAL JAMAICAN INGREDIENTS".

Thank You

I am 1/4 Jamaican and I've always wanted to try some propper Jamaican food. How does it taste if it is cooked prooperly. If you can just email me back on my email above, that would be great thanks.
