While broccoli florets and chunks of red pepper give this dish plenty of color, it's the fresh gingerroot, garlic, soy sauce and sesame oil that round out the flavor. -Mary Relyea of Canastota, New York

We will definitely make this again! My wife went back for seconds - not a normal behavior for her on anything. I stuck to the recipe and it was superb. This dish could go with so many meat dishes - we ate it with chicken in mustard sauce. And very easy to make.

A delicious recipe. I served it on brown rice with the Teriyaki Pork Roast and my family raved about the meal.

This recipe is amazing! I didn't have ginger, but it still turned out great. I'll be making this again tonight.

This was a very good addition to our family's "meatless monday" recipe collection. I was out of onion so used dried onion flakes and opted for frozen broccoli florets. Next time I might add fresh sliced mushrooms. Thanks for the recipe!

Good recipe, makes great cold left overs as well. At portions that satisfy me (early 20s guy) I think it makes 3 servings, maybe it was just so good I wanted more.

I used slightly less ginger, and still this was a great sauce for any combination of vegetables (we threw everything we had in the fridge, cauliflower, cabbage, carrots, broccoli, onion). Instead of almonds we topped with edamame for a vegetarian main dish.

Family loved it. I served it with Asian ribs and brown rice pilaf. Wonderful.

This was so delicious but it really only served the two of us not 5. The red peppers and ginger just made it so tasty. I can see us making this again and again. I forgot to add in the almonds....opps next time. There will be a next time.

This is very good! It's great for a quick dinner before shiftwork!

Made this for the first time tonight. It was easy for my 7 year old to help with and because he got to be mommy's helper, he actually tried all the veggies - even the red peppers and LOVED it! This one we will definitely make again.

It's reallly, really good...

but don't try making it in a 6-inch skillet. Just doesn't work. :)

We cook this at least once every couple of weeks, it's so simple and so good. This last time we didn't have any gingerroot, I'd have to say I didn't really miss it.
