I really enjoyed this! I used firm tofu in place of meat, fresh ginger instead of ground dried, and made a quick teriyaki sauce to cook everything in, I chose not to use the seasoning packet since the soy sauce is usually salty enough for us. Nice flavor, and great idea. I do think a few more veggies is better and will add additional next time. Thank you! Made for Unreviewed Asian Tag

Hi, I'm a Wife and Mom of three girls ranging in age from 9 to 16. Two of my daughters have special needs, so life is never dull! We live in Michigan in a very rural area near the lake (lots of farmland and fishermen). My husband and I own a copywriting business and I am a food writer and blogger.
I have a degree in culinary arts and love to entertain and cook. I'm constantly creating and searching for new and improved recipes to try out on our friends or on my blog.
We spend a lot of time traveling and camping in the summer. Being self employed writers allows us to spend all sorts of time together and we really enjoy having the girls home all summer. We try to spend as much time as possible in the beautiful Michigan woods.
