Have made this several times and it is flavorful. Especially appreciate that it provides good flavor with ingredients that are in the my pantry.

It is excellent, easy to make and my children love it. I add boneless, skinless chicken breasts to add protein, and sub bell peppers and zucchini for the bean sprouts to satisfy my children.

Excellent and very easy to make. I add tofu and/or scrambled egg for more protein and usually make 1 1/2 times the sauce to up the flavour a little.
