I haven't actually made this myself, but I've had my mom's more times than I can count, and I just had to rate it. I love this so much I could eat it every day! The flavors blend together so well, and if I didn't know better I would never have guessed it was healthy! I would highly recommend this recipe. Yum! -
I agree with other reviews that this needed garlic. I still found it lacking in flavour a bit but I don't know what more I could've put in. It had loads of onion, celery and peppers already. I actually thought it needed a bit of salt which is weird since there is soy sauce in it. It's a good, quick recipe and I'll try it again. Thanks for sharing! -
Whereas this was good, it wasn't my favorite. There wasn't a ton of flavor. I'll try it again, but with less broth and more seasonings like garlic. Thanks for the inspiration! -
This was great, I didn't even have all of the vegetables, (like the bean sprouts and water chestnuts), and it still was very good. It was fairly fast and very easy. thank you whisper :). -
The preparation was easy, though I stir fried the veggies. To me this recipe was screaming for garlic, since I found the taste a bit bland. But garlic and a bit of sugar and honey added and it turned out fine. We had the honey spiced duck last night and I suspect that spoiled me a bit for this one.

I live near Rochester NY with my husband and our 18-year-old cat, Fluffy. It's actually Fluffy's house, but he allows us to live here as long as we pamper him and feed him generously. Our daughter, Kree, whom some of you know from Zaar, is also living with us again while she begins a new business venture in real estate. She's the one who got me hooked on Zaar and taught me to try new recipes rather than stay in the cooking rut I was in.
In my free time I like to take long rides or sit by the water, both of which I find very relaxing. I also like to do counted cross-stitch and read. I dabble in photography, always looking for that elusive 'perfect' shot. I did more cooking before I started working full-time, and plan to again when I retire (still years away, but dreaming).
