If you're not looking to cook authentic Chinese cuisine this is a tasty Americanized dish. It was in "Cooking For Two" by Betty Crocker, a gift from my Mother when I was married @ 19 in 1969. Over the learned to add garlic & onions which pleased my children & husband. Even now I enjoy having this dish occasionally, I'm back to cooking for two, it's so easy & quick & clean up is a breeze
