Fantastic! We used a bag of frozen stir fry vegetables (no sauce) but otherwise followed the recipe. It was very flavorful and delicious!

This was very good, especially the pasta. The salmon marinade was a little too sweet, I think I will mix a bit of rice vinegar in with it next time. I used a different combination of veggies but followed the rest of the recipe closely, though I added a bit extra in the pepper flakes area. I'll make this again.
