This was really tasty. The only thing I did different was to add a tbsp. of oil to the skillet in the beginning and then I did saute the onion and garlic in it before tossing in the boiled veggies. Followed the recipe from there(except for step 8). Turned out very nice, thank you for sharing it. I especially loved the idea of having water chestnuts in this! A sure keeper! -
This is a good sidedish. Easy and delicious. The best asset -- No Oil! Next time though, I think I'd just boil the veggies in a big pot of water and then drain. It shouldn't make much of a difference. And I'd probably add some hot sauce for my family's taste. But this recipe is very good indeed. Defintely a good diet recipe. Thank you very much!

Hey there!~
My name is Crystal. I am 19,and living in Florida.
I really love to cook,& bake all the time for my family.I just get so much enjoyment out of it!
There is just something about the great aroma throughout the house when you bake something,creating special memories in the kitchen!
A little more about me:
I am a strict vegetarian,(almost vegan!,heh)but of course my whole family is not,so I cook just about anything!
Other than cooking-I like to read,surf the net and create art.
My favorite websites are:
www.ebay.com & www.witchvox.com (I'm wiccan)
Of course,the Zaar has become my favorite website! I love how friendly the people are and how interactive this place is!
