  1. I Love this ginger beef stir fry, it is by far my favorite stir fry. I put all different kinds of veggies in and we found the thinner smaller pieces of meat were more tender. Can't wait to make this stir fry again.
     
  2. This was quick, simple and delicious! I served over brown rice. For veggies, I included bok choy, a bit of onion and red pepper, mushrooms and snap peas. The beef turned out quite tender. This is going on the rotating dinner menu at our home. Thx for sharing.
     
  3. Dear Crafty Lady 13, Just wanted to let you know how much my husband and I loved your recipe for Ginger Beef Stir Fry. It was AWESOME! The sauce was a perfect balance of ingredients, just what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing.
     
  4. Great recipe. I made a few changes to accomodate the veggies I had on hand. I used asparagus, broccoli, mushrooms, snap peas, red peppers and green onion. I skipped the rice as we are doing the SB diet right now. Even the leftovers were good. Thx for sharing.
     
  5. I love the ease of stir fry and this one fits the bill. I love asparagus and I used them and the mushrooms - yum! Would definitely make this again.

<p>Update: &nbsp;I have changed my profile picture in honor of my dear best friend and loyal companion that I lost to cancer on 6/25/11. Maxx was the best dog that anyone could ever hope to have in their life. &nbsp;Until we meet again, sweet boy, you will be forever in my heart and memories. I currently live in the country with two dogs (a 12 pound&nbsp;poodle mix&nbsp;named Suki and a new member to the family, a 7-month old(?) 7.5 pound terrier mix named Angel ). &nbsp; I got Angel from the dog pound a week after I lost my beloved Maxx. &nbsp;Suki and I both needed a new companion to help us cope with our loss. &nbsp;Nothing will ever replace Maxx, but she has helped to uplift Suki's spirit. I am a secretary for a county school board. I love to cook, bake, crochet, paint, sew, read and anything to do with crafts. I was born in Tokyo,Japan. My father was in the Air Force and my moher was Japanese. I love to cook (and eat) a variety of foods from many different nations. I especially like trying out new recipes and experimenting with both old and new recipes. I also love participating in the great Zaar events like the tag games, recipe swaps, and Zaar World Tours. I recently participated in my first RSC contest. I have definitely had a lot of fun since joining Recipezaar. Update - September 20, 2007 I am proud to announce that I have just been blessed with my first grandchild. My son and daughter-in-law have given me a beautiful little granddaughter. &nbsp;[URL=http://s183.photobucket.com/albums/x147/Crafty_Lady_13/?action=view&curren;t=f6fd3ae3.pbw][IMG]http://s183.photobucket.com/albums/x147/Crafty_Lady_13/th_102_0365-1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Make Reservation Online Create your own visitor map *************************************************** [Reply]</p>
