We didn't like this AT ALL. I give it 2 stars because the directions were clear, and prep was very easy, but it was WAY too sweet. I didn't realize chili sauce was sweet, but it must be - I followed the directions exactly. Also, after simmering only 10 - 15 minutes, the veggies were still too crisp for my taste.

Absolutely DELICIOUS! I only have an hour for lunch, but even doing everything from scratch (chopping the veggies, cooking the rice, etc.), I had it on the table in half an hour. We like our meals spicy, so added a tablespoon of hot chili peppers instead of 1/4 teaspoon, and an entire bulb of garlic. Very scrumptious, but I don't think anyone at work appreciated us in the afternoon ...!!!
