Hi Rita,
all my family liked this recipe very much. My son came home after one week school camp and this was his first meal at home. He VERY happy to eat tasty food again.
I only reduced the the cornstarch to 1 1/2 tablespoons because I like it more liquid!
Really tasty and easy for everybody! Thanks a lot for the recipe.
