Excellent flavor - just a hint of heat. However, I used beef broth in place of the water, and added an onion, cut julienne like the peppers.

I made a less-spicy chicken version using the following changes:

1/2 tsp pepper instead of 1 tsp

1/4 tsp paprika instead of cayenne pepper

1/4 instead of 1/2 c. soy sauce

thinly sliced chicken instead of beef

frozen Asian vegetable mix and frozen peas instead of fresh snow peas and mushrooms

It was delicious!
