  1. I made this into a meal by putting some chicken pieces in the wok first with olive oil and some garlic. I kept the chicken warm while I followed the directions above and then lightly tossed the veggies and chicken. The meal was balanced by serving it on brown rice. I enjoyed the flavor very much and the kids ate it too! I may have been a bit heavy handed on the lemon juice. My recomendation would be to season with lemon to taste.
     
  2. Great combination of veggies! I followed the recipe, but replaced salt and pepper with chicken powder to make it tastier. I did not use lemon juice either. But the dish was excellent. Also simple and quick to do, so suitable for busy people.
     
  3. This was really good and simple to do. Even my boys ate it. It did seem to me to be lacking just a bit in seasoning though so next time I may try to mix in some Thyme. Oh and I didn't have onions so I just doubled the pepper portion. This was my first time with fennel too so I am glad it turned out to be easy. And don't let the licorice flavor scare you away. It is quite mild.
     
  4. I really loved this veggie combination. Nice and colorful. I followed the recipe exactly as written, but I used white onion because I didn't have red. Also, I cut the oil back to 2 tbsp and it worked fine. Great side dish or meatless maindish. Thanx for a great stir-fry recipe. I'll make this again.

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
