Good stew, not the normal stew recipe. I sliced my sweet potatoes too thin, will cut in chunks next time. I bot stew meat already sliced it was great..
I wouldn't call this stew, it's more of a soup. My review may not be fair b/c this is the second time I've used the chinese 5 spice seasoning and I don't think I care for it's taste. I thought it may taste better in a different recipe. I added about a 1/4 tsp. more salt and 1/2 tablespn. sugar to bring out more flavor. I don't think I'll make again.
Followed this recipe quite closely but forgot to add the green onions at the end. Didn't matter, the dish was easy to make and was excellent. I used beef stew meat and sliced it thin. Will definitely be making this again.
Prepared exactly as written, this recipe was fantastic. It was easy, quick and delicious, more than the sum of its parts. I rarely cook with beef, but this was so satisfying to my husband and three boys that I will make it over and over. Oh, and it's pretty too.
This was really easy to make and satisfying to eat. A good recipe to make with someone. I added a little more meat, about 1lb of bok choy and 1 lb of potatoes and 4 cups broth, it served 6 easily. The ingredients are usually standards in my kitchen, except for the meat which can be frozen, and easy to cut thin if slightly defrosted.
