"Another one of the quick and delicious meals I would rather make than buy expensive take aways. We reduced the amount of pepper from the original recipe, so feel free to add more if YOU wish."

Oh boy! What can I say but try this! I used rump steak and followed the directions as written. Hubby is not that keen on rice but when I asked what he thought, his exact words were B****Y fantastic! A new favourite, thanks Jan! =) -
Very easy and tasted great! 40 ml is approx. 3 tbsp. -
Just cooked this in my apartment. Didn't have a wok but that didn't matter. Pees are not my forte so I subbed them for red pepper and it is amazing. I also added a clove of garlic why stir frying the veggies. 5 stars for this recipe, it is nothing short of fantastic!

I used a New York sirloin instead of round, as I find round is rather tough. The flavors going on here made my mouth want to dance! Delicious meal from start to finish and we will have it again when the urge for take out hits us again! -
I followed the recipe except used the steam bag frozen snap peas and threw them in at the end. My steak was a bit chewy. I think if I made this again I would use shrimp or chicken. I would also add some fresh garlic and ginger.

The family loved this one. I cooked the veg first. I used sirloin steak instead of round steaks and ensured I stopped cooking it when about 1/2 of the meat was no longer pink. It worked out well. We do like our steaks rare. I didn't bother with the reduction stage so not to overcook the meat and it was fine. None of the steak ended up pink but it was all tender. I also reduced the pepper to about 1/4 tsp for our sensitive palates.

Excellent dish. I used frozen petite green beans instead of sugar snap peas. They were frozen so I zapped them with a little bit of water for 4 minutes.

Wonderful Recipe! Was delicious! I doubled the entire recipe because I had lots of meat to use. I added a little lemon juice, ginger and I added a touch of hot sauce for hubby, too. I used fresh green beans instead of sugar snap peas. This is a keeper and will be a repeat offering in this household...thanks for this! -
This was suprisingly delicious. I used the full amount of pepper because we love spicy food. I also added mushrooms and used extra soy sauce instead of oyster (to make it kosher). It was wonderful served with some steamed rice. Thanks! -
Yummy! this was an easy stir fry. I did use sugar snap peas instead of snow, never can get a taste for them. Still came out tasting good!

Bergy answered my request, I took a look around the site and joined that day (January 18th 2002). I can't remember my life without Recipezaar. I've made (and met) many wonderful friends through it.</p>
<p>In 2005, I was invited to host the brand new Australian/New Zealand forum, but quit that role recently and am really enjoying just being a Groupie!<br /><br />I am married to Russell. He was a widower with 3 teenage boys and I was a single parent with two little boys when we met in Feb 1992. We now have 5 wonderful grown men (my baby is 26), 5 beautiful partners (we finally got the girls) 2 special grandsons, and count ourselves so lucky. The night Russ and I met, we stayed up until 6am talking about food and wine and 18 years later, we are still doing it! </p>
<p>This mutal love of food lead to a huge weight gain for both of us (both around 110kgs) so at the end of March 2010, I decided enough is enough and embarked on my own weight loss program. We've reduced fat intake and protein portions, upped fibre (so lots of fresh fish, veg, salads and a bit more fruit), reduced alcohol and stopped snacking (unless it's a piece of fruit or a pickled onion or cucumber). I have lost 33 kg (or around 72 lbs) to date (August 2011)and I've gone from an Aus size 24 (US 20) to my current 14/16 (US 10/12) I'd like to lose a futher 8 kgs, but one step at a time! Russ has lost 38 kg so is the lightest he's been since arriving in Australia 32 years ago! I get a shock these days when I do the laundry cos his clothes are so SMALL!!!</p>
<p>People often say they are amazed because losing weight is so hard but I'm amazed at how easy this is. And so much nicer than the alternative I was looking at-lap banding! I can go out and eat and drink as I wish, then come home and be sensible. It's certainly working for us! I can walk, get up and down off the floor or ground, and I now buy clothes because I like them, not just because they fit!). My blood pressure has gone from dangerous to perfect, my cholesterol and blood sugars are perfect and way back into normal now so it's been really good from a health aspect too.</p>
<p>For every day this has taken, I feel like I've been given back two-my life has changed so much with the things I now feel I can do. I even managed to walk almost 11ks around the big red rock Uluru in the top picture and I know I couldn't have done it 12 months before. My eventual aim is to ride on the FRONT of the camel-recently, I had to ride on the back as I'm heavier than Russ lol. But twelve months ago I couldn't ride at all as I was out of the weight range to do so!</p>
<p>Once upon a time, I used to be a chef, cooking for a living, but now just really enjoy cooking for the two of us, family and friends. I think that my food knowledge has really helped in our weight loss though.</p>
<p>The middle photo was at my starting weight of 110kg taken in Feb 2010 and the bottom taken January 2011 and 24kg lighter, the TOP taken in April 2011 and 27kgs lighter! I can see the difference even if you can't LOL. I wish I knew how to edit them into order.</p>
<p>Russ and I still love our food-we wake up thinking about dinner and go to sleep remembering it. I especially like light, bright Asian food and if it has duck in it, that's an added bonus. We are keen fisher people and keep ourselves well supplied with fresh fish, squid, crabs and fresh yabbies (crawfish). <br /><br />In February 2006 we headed off on what was to be 3 years and two months travelling Australia. It was the most wonderful time of our lives but all things must end and in May 2009, we moved into a brand new villa unit. I realised then how much I had missed my own laundry room, kitchen and sofa (all things I took for granted until we travelled in our caravan). Since coming home, we've spent the winters travelling and fishing in the warm northerly parts of Australia and the summers in our gorgeous little home amongst friends and family. It's a wonderful life and I feel so very privilaged to be able to experience it!</p>
<p>When we leave home to travel, we take along all the food in our pantry, carry a domestic freezer, vacuum sealer, all our knives and favourite cookware and eat exactly the same as we would at home (perhaps we eat more fresh seafood)-we aren't on vacation-we're just living somewhere else!<br /><br /><br />Why did I give you the stars that I gave you??? <br />5 stars=awsome, fantastic, amazing, nothing to complain about <br />4 stars=very good, but I added something, felt it needed something, the recipe wasn't particularly well written or it really wasn't awesome, fantastic or amazing, just very good <br />3 stars=it was OK <br />2 stars=it was forgetable <br />1 star=no one could/would eat it tonight, tomorrow or ever again <br /><a href=http://www.satsleuth.com/VisitorMap/stats.php?id=6Vsv878m><br /></a></p>
