This was very easy to make up. I used orange peppers, broccoli and mushrooms (which was all I had on hand) My DH loved this, but I found that 1T of chili garlic sauce was a bit much. I will add garlic next time, to round out the flavors better. By WW calculations, this recipe turned out to be 8 points rather than 5...also, we had enough for 5 servings. I would do this one again! Thanks for posting!!

I thought this was just fantastic!! The asparagus in the store was pretty pathetic looking so I substituted brocolli. Other than that I followed exactly! Very flavorful and was easy enough to make for a week night dinner. I used 1 tablespoon of chili-garlic paste and we did add a dab more at the table and mixed it in. Perfect amount of heat for us! Thanks for a wonderful supper!

I really really liked this. Although a Ww recipe, it really didn't feel like 'diet food' at all. I have to admit, I forgot to add the ginger, so I had to imagine that taste, but I'm sure it would'v only enhanced the flavour. I also had to substitute blanched fine green beans for the asparagus. This is very veggie-intensive: a great way to ensure your 5-a-day! Thanks Teresa, for posting.
