This is a really good basic recipe which you can modify in any number of ways. Instead of using beef, I had leftover teriyaki pork that I needed to use, and it was great. I also used udon noodles instead of rice. Prep time takes a while, all that chopping and slicing, but once you're ready to start cooking, it's goes together fast and easy. Thanks, Gingerbear.

A dish that the whole family enjoyed, the flavours are fantastic. I didn't have snowpeas, bamboo shoots or mushrooms, but I did add red and green pepper, and some green onion. Thanks for sharing this recipe

I did a slimmed down version of this, with just beef, carrots, cabbage and onions. Loved the sauce and the cooking times were perfect. Thanks for a simple recipe I will use again.
