Versatile and delicious! Love how it uses ingredients that I typically have on hand. I seasoned pork with about 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, used about 1 1/4 cups water, added 3 tablespoons of soy instead of 2, and used the stated amount of chicken bouillon. I put soy and bouillon in right away with the veggie/meat so it would saturate the meat while simmering. I ended up using 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to thicken but that depends upon the water amount. Made for my PAC Spring 2010 baby!

I've been a fan of recipezaar for awhile now, but just recently became a member. I love to cook and try new recipes, and fortunately for me, my husband will try anything.
I grew up and currently reside in Utah. It's a great place to live if you like outdoor activities like us. We love to camp in the summer and ski in the winter. If you haven't been here, you should visit soon.
