Couldn't be simpler, DH loved the intense gingery sauce. We are not big fans of purple cabbage, so we would rather have increased the broccoli or added mushrooms and omitted the cabbage. The shredded carrot got lost, so I would cut the carrots in thin julienne next time for better color contrast. DH loved the ginger, but I would use less next time and increase the garlic. Next time I would also try with only 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Made for Summer Photo Tag.

Made for RSC contest and this was a tasty dish. I cut the molasses down a little but otherwise followed the instructions (I might have added a little more pepper flakes for our liking) but this went well with our meat dish. I would think you could add some shrimp or cooked chicken for a complete meal if you wanted (just keep in mind that you might want more sauce.) Thank you for posting and good luck in the contest.
