I liked the vegetables in this recipe, but agree with a previous comment that chicken would be better than shrimp.

Made recipe exactly as written. My husband & I both liked this - it definitely needed the hoisin sauce. Might add more chili sauce next time and I think I would prefer it with chicken instead of shrimp. Also, I don't think I would cook the cabbage as long next time - I like my cabbage with a little life left in it.

This dish was easy to make, used wok so had minimal dishes to clean. I found the dish not appealing to look at it came out mushy and the shrimp were bland. I did find the hoisin added some much needed flavor. My husband and I did not like this recipe so much and will probably not make again.
