Submitted by Trisha W

"Chinese food is a favorite of mine. This is a lighter version using reduced sodium soy sauce, so is better for you (or at least for my Blood Pressure.)"

Very good. I used sesame oil instead of vegetable oil and added a little bit of cornstarch to the sauce so it would thicken a little. I'll definitely use this recipe again. Thanks for posting!

made as per recipe, but I found it quite bland. Since I am alone, I have leftovers. Think I'll reheat using a little sesame oil and spice up with a little chili sauce.

This is really tasty. I used a whole stock cube (for Aussies/Kiwi's , masterfoods squeeze) in 1/4 cup of water. Wished I'd used more bok choy as it really held the flavour. Very quick and easy to make and will definitely make again soon. Thanks for posting.

This was easy, quick and delicious and so gets 5 *s from me. I used a package of stir-fry Chinese vegetables (from the produce dept.)I had on hand and then followed the recipe, adding all of the veggies in step #2. We had this with my fifteen-minute steak and some steamed rice and it was a very nice meal for this cold, snowy evening. Thanks Trisha for another keeper :)
