Update: This has become a go to recipe when we are craving Asian food. Simple, fast and easy! I made the mistake of using regular soy once and found it a bit salty so I recommend using low sodium or soya as written. Thanks Lou! Made with recipe#359454 ......... 9/23/2005 Very good and simple. I was amazed that I could actually make this and have it come out as good looking and (better) tasting than at the restaurant. Thanks for a great recipe!
