Submitted by threeovens

"This is a quick and easy stir fry recipe adapted from a magazine. It's a good "symbolic" dish for Chinese New Year, since the ingredients are cut into long strips which symbolize long life."

* Reviewed for ZWT6 Whine and Cheese Gang * This recipe cooks up so quickly! Very tasty for such a quick and easy recipe. If you had all the ingredients prepared in advance...10 minutes cooking time max. My rice took longer to cook than this recipe. Love the cashews added in too . If you used ready cooked rice....this would be dinner in a flash. Photo also to be posted. Thanks Ice Cool Kitty :)

My DH just loved this dish and said he wants it again, he thinks this is the best dish I have cooked in the tour so far. That makes me very happy, as it's so quick and easy to make, as Jubes said the rice took longer. I didn't have teriyaki sauce so I used soy, and I served jasmine rice with it. This is a definite keeper. Thank you so much for posting. Made for ZWT#6 2010
