This turned out perfectly! I only made a couple of changes, the can of baby corn that I thought I still had, was no where to be found so I used slices of fresh corn on the cob (microwaved til tender) instead and I added some bamboo shoots that I did find!! Love the amount of spices! Also added a touch of rice wine vinegar and mirin but it really wasn't needed... Fresh ginger and fresh garlic are always great! Made for ZWT4 while travelling around with the Babes of Zaarland.
