I debated whether to rate it or not, since I changed it quite a bit, but my DH and I both thought it was great. I didn't have sesame oil, so I shook in some sesame seeds. I forgot the ginger and didn't add the (hot) pepper bcz of kids. I added some broccoli and cabbage and didn't use the Parmesan cheese. I made some Polish sausage to go alongside of it and the meal was wonderful! Most of my kids ate it without complaining (that's a good thing around here!:) I think adding the 1 1/2 T sesame oil would have been overkill for us. So next time, I'll use the 1 tsp but not the 1 1/2 Tbs.Reply
