This was a great recipe awesome flavor and not very heavy.the fumes that fills your kitchen sends your nose to food heaven! As a twist I threw in some angel hair pasta and broccoli to make it my own.

Loved it! Kids gobbled it down. I didn't have the stir fry sauce and no lettuce.

I had company coming for dinner, a bag of frozen shrimp and lots of cilantro in the garden. I made this recipe as is, except for the stir-fry sauce, and it was fantastic. Everyone loved it. I am going to try this with chicken next!

I had my 17yo daughter cook this, and it was very easy to make, and delicious to eat. Definitely a keeper.

Delicious! Kept to the recipe, even added the shredded lettuce and we all enjoyed it. Little Miss (DD) and I ate it hot off the wok but hubby had to re-heat it because he came really late from work. Thanks for posting the recipe Sam #3
