My love for seafood has carried over from childhood, when we used to fish together as a family. So I was happy to find this change-of-pace recipe that combines stir-fry with seafood. It tastes like a special treat but is a breeze to prepare.—Lee Deneau, Lansing, Michigan

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
