I made this on 3/23/09 as part of our dinner, and for the " Cooking With An Asian Accent " in the Cooking Photo forum. I made the recipe as written, but I did find at the end of making this I had to add some cornstarch to thicken it up a bit. After tasting we all decided that it needed something to give it "some kick" .Maybe a bit of crushed red pepper, or something like that ? This recipe just didn't go over well with us, but thanks for posting anyway.
