This recipe is a great basis for a basic stir fry with rice, but the recipe by itself is disappointing. I was able to make a delicious variation of this recipe, by using sesame oil instead of vegetable oil, adding 1/2 tsp chopped ginger, and using small amounts of coriander, salt free all-purpose seasoning, ground ginger, sesame seeds, and lemon juice. I will make my variation again.
