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.

Easy, good, Excellent! Loved the combination of flavors with that little kick of the red pepper flakes. Family requested to make again in the future. I am sorry that the photo doesn't do the dish justice. :( Made by a member of "Cooks With Dirty Faces" For ZWT5

Everyone is right - this is quick, easy, and scrumptious! I was surprised there was so much flavor in such an easy recipe! I made it exactly as written and will definitely make this again when I am short on time. Thank you!

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 ...!!!
