I'm sorry, but it doesn't take that long to grate some fresh ginger, which keeps quite well in the fridge - and mince fresh garlic! Plus, chili powder? The taste was acceptable, but needed red pepper flakes rather than chili powder and the 'texture', with all the powdered seasonings, was powdery/grainy. Also, fresh veggies take only a few minutes to chop.

After reading the comments of others, I tried this recipe but substituted fresh vegetables. I used cubed chicken breast instead of steak. I added a little crushed red pepper. We loved it! I rated it 4 stars because the frozen vegetables would have been mushy, as someone else previously commented. I will definitely make this again!

Delicious! I used a combination of fresh beef and a bit of leftover steak from the night before. I also used a fresh veggies and everyone loved it.

I agree-- fresh veggies or even canned (baby corn and water chestnuts) make a huge difference. You can use any you like and change it up easily. Bell peppers, onions, squash, broccoli, I've tried many combos and the sauce is great with all of them. I also used a thin steak and cut the meat into strips instead of cubes.

I make this dish once a week we like it so much. The only difference is I always use fresh veggies (whatever I have on hand) and I have also made it with chicken and shrimp.

I really like how this dish is seasoned, the only thing I added was a sprinkling of crushed red pepper flakes. The reason I gave it a 4 is because the frozen veggies resulted in a mushy texture. The next time I make this dish I will take the time to chop fresh veggies. This dish is seasoned so nicly that it's worth taking the time to do the extra step.

This is a delicious and very quick meal. I used London Broil instead of sirloin steak.
