An easy and tasty crockpot meal! I cooked this for a total of 7 hours; omitted the carrots and doubled the ginger, garlic, lite soy, gravy mix and water and served over steamed rice. DH loves his salt and soy so he added a few dashes of non-low sodium soy sauce on his serving for extra flavor; though I found it had enough flavor as is. I bet this would taste great with some julienned green pepper added as well. Thanks for this recipe; it made my cooking task on Mother's Day quite easy; I was able to make and serve my family a meal they enjoyed while I was able to enjoy the day without spending it slaving over a hot stove.

Love the crockpot and now I have a new recipe to prepare in it. This is so easy and good. I decreased the water slightly and used a little more garlic and ginger than the recipe called for. Served this over hot Jasmine rice. Thanks for a wonderful recipe.
