This meal was awesome on its own, despite my skepticism about the barbecue sauce, it tasted super good and my family enjoyed it. I did not actually have a bag of frozen vegetables when I made it, but fresh vegetables worked fine. I suggest using less than 3/4 cup of water, maybe 1/2 cup to make it creamier/ thicker if that's your preference. Also, I added some lime and cilantro at the end because it tasted too barbecue-y on my tongue but if I wasn't such a perfectionist I would have left it and it would have been fine. All in all, this was a super quick throw together asian meal that tasted great!

I've made this recipe a few times, and it makes a great lunch reheated or cold the next day. My DH adds extra pepper flakes, but I like the flavor as is. I usually add some extra veggies though, 1 pkg frozen just isn't enough. Thanks for the recipe!
