My meat was so tender and loved all the flavor. Added mushrooms that needed to be used. Will make this quick and easy meal many times again. -
My husband really liked this. I ususally go heavy on the ginger because he is so crazy about it. I think sprouts would be good in it as some other reviewers have commented. -
We thought this was a good base for a dish but a little bland as is. Some celery from crunch and sprouts for more texture will be on my list with it next time -
We thought this was very good. I loved how much flavor it had and it was very healthy. I did get a little confused with the ingredient "tenderloin sliced thin". I had thin round tenerloin slices and so mine took longer to cook. It still tasted great though. Thanks! -
Yum! Doubled the sauce and thickened it with a little cornstarch. Didn't have cashews, so substituted peanuts. Delicious.

We loved it! Only change I made was to replace the broccoli (it doesn't like me) for snap peas. Also added water chestnuts for DH! Thanks for sharing it's a great recipe!

I am the mother of four boys--two sons and two stepsons. I am also the grandmother of one very sweet and precocious 3 yr old boy. I was once a healthcare administrator but quit a few years ago to stay home with my youngest. Since he has started to school, I am back to working part time.
<br> Next to my family, cooking is my passion. I have a wonderful husband who will try anything. He is my biggest fan and a discerning critic. A couple of years ago, we started a dinner club with friends who enjoy our passion for good food. We have shared many wonderful meals together.
<br> My favorite cookbook would have to be a family cookbook that my mom and cousin and I put together a couple of years ago. We shared all the favorites that had been passed down through the generations as well as new favorites.
<br> My biggest pet peeve is picky eaters who refuse to try anything new. It bothers me more with adults than with kids, but I love that my six year old will eat just about anything I put in front of him. There is something very gratifying about "grooming" the next generation of foodies.
