MamaJ's Note:

I found this several years ago in Cooking Light magazine and have modified it slightly to suit our tastes. It is one of my "go to" meals as it is quick, delicious and very figure friendly.

My husband really liked this. I ususally go heavy on the ginger because he is so crazy about it. I think sprouts would be good in it as some other reviewers have commented.

We thought this was a good base for a dish but a little bland as is. Some celery from crunch and sprouts for more texture will be on my list with it next time

We thought this was very good. I loved how much flavor it had and it was very healthy. I did get a little confused with the ingredient "tenderloin sliced thin". I had thin round tenerloin slices and so mine took longer to cook. It still tasted great though. Thanks!
