Should've read the reviews and used more cornstarch. The sauce was way too thin. Good flavors though. I would make it again.

I love this good, basic recipe for using up leftover cooked veggies or steamed frozen mediterranean veggies for a quick, easy weeknight meal. I do think it needs just a bit more soy and ginger, and the sauce was too thin; I will just add a little more cornstarch. I would also like to try fresh veggies and maybe pork tenderloin or lean steak!

Great simple easy dinner. My kids couldn't get enough. Next time I'll add more soy sauce.

I had high hopes for this but it just wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped it would be. All that came through was the 1/2 tsp of pepper! Edible, but I won't be filing this in the "make again" file.
