really really good recipe. it feels like your cheating on your diet thats how good it was. i replaced the sugar with splenda, wheat flour instead of corn starch (because i didnt have any) and brown rice instead of white rice and it was still amazing!!!

I substituted brown rice for white, which raised the calorie count a bit but added enough fiber to bring the weight watcher points down to 5 per serving with 3/4 cups rice instead of 1/2 cup.

If you didn't use the rice it wouldn't be as bad.
