Our entire family gives this recipe 5 stars. Perhaps I should not rate with stars as I could not use the precise ingredients, but I stayed as true to the recipe as I could, given the ingredients I had at home today. I had to use regular sodium soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, & Splenda. I also used an entire teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes & will likely use more when I make it next, & using whole wheat spaghetti did not hurt a thing. By the way, the fresh ginger root really makes this dish! I will make this again, as my family has already requested it again for sometime next week!!!

This was a lovely weeknight take-out-style meal that was much healthier than Chinese take-out. DH and I liked the flavor of this dish but felt it needed something else to make it "pop". It could perhaps use some minced garlic or sliced white onions while stir-frying the veggies--but I suppose that's our personal preference. Otherwise it was delicious. Thanks for sharing!
