This dish was good and flavorful. I made it as a one-dish meal by adding cubed, browned extra firm tofu. Adding sliced celery (sauteed with the onion and garlic) would be provide additional color and crunch. I used a regular yellow onion instead of green onion. Cooked chicken chunks mixed in would be good, too. I especially liked the texture and appearance of this dish.
