simple & delicious! (and I just realized I forgot the rice vinegar--guess I'll have to try it again!) -
Fabulous flavour, and so easy! This is a great recipe that uses staple ingredients that I always have on hand. Like the previous reviewer, I subbed dry sherry for the water in the sauce. I also left out the green onions, as I didn't have any. I probably should have thickened the sauce, as it was very thin - I'll try that next time I make this recipe (I WILL make it again!) -
A definite make-again! The only thing I did differently was use dry sherry in place of water, and thickend the sauce a tiny bit. I threw in some thin asparagus for the last minute or two. I served it with spicy fried rice, and we devoured it all.
