A different tasty stir fry but I found it to be a bit too bland and added some garlic, ginger & 2 serrano peppers - I also added a carrot for color. -
Very good blend of flavors. Take care not to overcook the cabbage because it will continue to cook with the meat and other vegetables. -
Mmmmmmm... quite tasty. The combination of veggies was great. I thought the sauce was on the salty side and ended up adding a bit more broth and a bit of water. I was a bit wary of it's simplicity, but it was really good--- a teryaki type taste. My husband and I don't eat much beef, and I ususally make sauces like this with chicken stock, so it was a nice change of pace.

I also have an eBay business which is a fun hobby that makes a little extra money! My interest in cooking focuses on making healthy dishes that are more satisfying than the higher fat and higher sugar versions. If I had a month off with no responsibilities, I would spend it at a luxury spa. <br /> <br /></p>
