  1. I saw this in VT and been wanting to try it. Made it for dinner tonight - Super good and easy. I omitted the sesame oil and added orange zest. served over leftover brown rice. i'm taking leftovers in a pita bread for lunch tommorrow. i haven't had chinese in ages because of my dietary restrictions. this dish reminded me alot of chinese takeout but it was healthy and i could feel good about eating it. thanks!

AND that is the end of this. If the phone doesn't ring? It's me. If you are looking to ask me a question? I'm not here. I won't answer. I do not assure you that the ingredients, amounts or even the directions in any recipe under my two accounts are correct due to the bad directional pointer in the database that is causing problems with the amounts or ingredients. I will also NOT assure you they are correct when the site claims they are fixed. Use at your own risk. They will be correct on my site. End of story. Sigh..
