This certainly wasn't bad but it wasn't great, either. The sauce was very bland and I had to add about another cup of vegetable broth to make enough sauce to cover all the veggies. I would make it again with maybe a few crushed red pepper flakes, more ginger, or more soy sauce - something to give it more flavor.

Very good! Using what I had on hand I used a 12 oz bag of fresh broccoli flowerettes and green onions. I used jarred minced ginger and sauteed it with the mushrooms and onion. I doubled the amount of sauce. I used two tablespoons of soy sauce. I really enjoyed this dish and will be making it again.

I thought this was delicious. The sauce is really good. I made as directed, except that I added a sliced red bell pepper with the broccoli, and I sprinkled toasted sesame seeds on top to serve. I will make this often, as we eat a lot of veggie stir fries here. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for ZWT6.

This had a lot of great vegetables, I do not like broccoli so I decreased the amout and added more mushrooms and water chestnuts. Also, added cauliflower and green onions. Comes together quite easily and the sauce is good. I do think next time I will increase the amount of garlic used. Made for ZWT 2008 -
