We'd just harvested a mess of wax beans and decided to make this recipe with that substitution. Excellent meal: the sauce (used sambal oelek as the chili-garlic component) was excellent! -
I increased the amount of beef by about .5 pound and decreased the sauce by about a 1/4. I think that all the sauce would have made it too saucy for my preference. Otherwise I left it alone. I really enjoyed this meal and thought the flavors really popped. Thanks for a flavorful and healthly meal. -
If I could give this more than 5 stars I would. This is now my all time favourite stir-fry. I didn't have Lee Kum Kee sauce so I used Frank's hot sauce. It gives the stir fry a nice flavour with a little bite to it. I substituted the green beans for broccoli and may try it with asparagus next time. I also used jarred ginger puree and only put in 1 tsp. I also used up some left over steak from last nights dinner. This meal was sensational and I can't wait to make it again.

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
