I think this came from the Yan Can Cookbook - an interesting twist on the typical vegetable stir fry.

I halved the recipe, which worked fine. I shredded most of the veggies with a grater, but couldn't figure out how to shred the sprouts so I just chopped them really fine. It's kind of time consuming but tasty, especially for something os low fat!Reply

Seemed a little putzy for a weekday meal, so next time, weekend! Sauce is yummy (I doubled ingred. but only used 1/2 tsp Louisiana hot sauce for the Tabasco). Used baby corn for the zucchini and sesame seeds for the oil. My omelette ended up being scrambled :( I would consider drizzling the eggs into the vegetables to cook also. To make enough for a family, I would think you would have to double it (maybe not that much but 1 1/2 x's.)Reply

This was a nifty idea for an entree, and with a couple of changes I think I'll really like it a lot. The vegetables were too overcooked for my taste, but I think it's because they were shredded. Next time I make this, I'll probably just chop the vegetables so they get as soft. I'd probably add less liquid at the end of the vegetables' cook time; they were a bit soupy. The sauce was nice and spicy, and I liked the thin omelette on top of the veggies. Thanks for posting!Reply -
This was really good and extremely low in calories. Once the vegetables are shredded it comes together very quickly. I halved the recipe without any problem. Thank you pattikay for sharing this recipe that will help me get my waistline back!Reply
