We have made this several times and love it! I didn't realize that I hadn't rated it. We've made it with fresh squeezed OJ in the past (instead of the concentrate) and it is still good - but noticeably better with the OJ concentrate. I also double the fresh ginger, because we love ginger. Most recently, we made it with onions and mushrooms and it was the best we have made. We just use the veggies we like or have on hand and it is great every time. Coconut rice is a great companion to this. DO try this, it is wonderful.
