I was finally able to try this out and we enjoyed it so much that I’ve made it several times since. It’s a great weeknight meal, since it’s quick and simple to make. I also like that there are not too many ingredients, and most we usually have in the house. My husband said that this tasted “more authentic” than some of the other stir-fry dishes I’ve made in the past. Personally, I just think it’s pretty yummy – so give this a try.
