I also used ready-made breadcrumbs and melted butter instead of making my own.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, while this dish was absolutely delicious and garnered rave reviews, I have to say it was far more time-consuming to make than I expected. And there was a lot of stirring involved.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a far cry from a box of KD, but I think it may become one of those dishes where it&#8217;ll be hard to go back to the orange powder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a craving, which is what usually leads to me making far more complicated recipes than I would usually attempt.
