This was really good. I used turnips and carrot in place of the pepper, but many crisp veggies would work well here. I also used fresh shitake mushrooms instead of dried, doubled the amount of ginger and garlic, and added a little water and cook time to get the veggies a little more tender. Next time I will decrease the eggs and add some tofu, but overall a great meal.
