Reviews
I loved the ginger flavor! And the hint of citrus! The only thing I changed was adding some more vegetables to the mix - some broccoli, bell peppers, etc. Quick and easy!
Did the orange juice really work out? @Wasoongu
The stars aren't showing up for me to rate this recipe, but I give it four stars. I made a batch for my dad and husband and they ate it all -- no leftovers. I added onion, garlic, and broccoli. And crushed red pepper. I also realized at the last minute that I didn't have any oranges, so I added about 1/4 cup orange juice. I did serve with the suggested side dish (zesty sugar snap peas) and they disappeared as well.
