OMG! Is this ever good! Finally hit a home run in the Asian foods for my family. The only thing I changed was the vegetables. My daughter isn't crazy about broccoli, so I put in the carrots, water chestnuts, peas and mushrooms. We enjoyed the leftovers even more! My husband was only disappointed that he wasn't having his lunch at the garage, so he wasn't able to take this for lunch the next day. A definite keeper in this home! Thanks!
