Delicious! Only made one addition-chillies!Added them when frying the veg and that gave it a great kick.Made it for a dinner party so prepared it uptil step 6, and put it aside. When i was ready for dinner i quickly re heated the veggies and added the sauce. So simply and easy and so tasty.Thank you!

Excellent sauce. I liked it better than a regular teriyaki, since it was not as salty. The balsamic vinegar adds a nice flavor. I used stir fried frozen veggies (Costco) and topped with seared scallops. It was a wonderful meal. Roxygirl

I love this. I've made it with penne and I've made it with tri-color rotini. Works either way. I've also sauteed canned tuna with the veggies. This is a great go-to recipe when I don't have a lot of time to spend making supper. I'm not sure why it says this makes 35 minutes to make--for me it takes MUCH less than that, even counting the time to cook the pasta.

After seeing the wonderful photo, i just had to make this salad. It is perfect. I did not change a thing! We ate every last bit and served it with fresh homemade bread! Excellent! Thanks for posting!
