This is a quick and easy stir fry that looks great, and I loved the beef and veggie combination. I'm not going to give this a rating,though, because I didn't use the sesame seeds (I ran out and didn't realize it) and I discovered that I'm not fond of the 5 spice powder flavor. DH enjoyed it, though.
