DH and I really enjoyed this dish. I was on the hunt for an Asian fried veggie dish and came across this recipe. I had lots of veggies ready to go bad in the refrigerator. Any way, this is an awesome recipe to cook! Thanks for posting!

This was a simple stir fry to make. I did not have bok choy so I subbed yellow zucchini. I left out the oil but added a little veggie boullion, and some garlic. This makes enough sauce for a second stir fry too. Thanks for the recipe.
