This is a very satisfying stir fry that made a wonderful rice bowl dinner. We really liked the addition of the walnuts. I made as written cutting the water to 3/4 cup as we did not want too much sauce and did fallow the suggestion in step 8 and added some garlic and ginger. Will make again, thanks for the post.

Made as posted, except I added some minced garlic! I loved this delicious vegetable stir fry. I just ate it as a side and didn't serve over rice or noodles. I also used pecans instead of walnuts, because I always have those on hand! Thanks for sharing.
