Yum, very very good! As with many recipes of this nature, the trick is in preparation, get everything ready to go, and the actual cooking is a breeze. I used chinese egg noodles, cooking them while I got everything else ready and setting them aside after tossing in a little sesame oil. For my veggies I used a yellow pepper and a zucchini, sliced in batons, in addition to the recommended vegetables. I cooked my shrimps separately and added them at the end, just to mine and DHs plates, since my daughters don't eat them. Otherwise, as directed. This is nicely spicy but not overwhelmingly so, the vegetables were crisp and crunchy, it really is a marvellous anytime meal, with ingredients that i always have in fridge and pantry. A great way to use up your veggies and also get a nice selection of your 5-a-day! Oh, I also doubled the recipe! Thank you, Purdy Good Cook, much enjoyed! Made for My 3 Chefs

I am a RN and I work in the operating room, which doesn't leave much time for cooking. But when I find the time I love to find recipes on Zaar and try them out. I have been happily married to a loving husband for 4 years, and he really enjoys all the interesting meal ideas that I find!!! I have no children yet, but hopefully in the near future. I enjoy cooking all types of meals, and love cooking for others!! I enjoy looking up new and exciting recipes from Zaar.
