It did taste good but incredibly time consuming...it seems like many of her recipes should start with first go to a specialty store on the other side of town and get ingredients that are hard to come by at your local grocery store. I live in Georgia and I was lucky enough to be sent to a work a case(I'm a home health nurse near a large Asian market. First you have to find the Asian market then find someone who speaks enough English to help you find Sambal and XO sauce. The xo sauce I was finally directed to by a very nice employee of the market had such a stylized label I would never have recognized it. Next I get to try and find Kafir leaves to make the Thai shrimp dish!

Recipe listed edamame and sambal but didn't list when to add during the cooking process! Be sure when cooking this that you are halving all the ingredients in the beginning not just the scallions. I think this would be a pretty decent recipe but it is not well written. I think I am a decent cook but this made me feel like The Worst Cook in America.

TASTY AND EASY!!!!

Okay first off I think that my dish taste different from everyone else do to the fact that being west indian we do things different. I seasoned my shrimp with garlic and onion powder and some mrs. dash table blend the night before. The other thing I did different is that the napa cabbage was not looking so good at the store this week so I used regular cabbage sliced extra thin. Other than that I followed the recipe (I did use low sodium soyand instead on the egg on top I scrambled it and mied it in with the other ingredients (only because I served the dish with peking duck

So tasty! Better than take-out! Very easy to make. I just prepped all the ingredients ahead, like on the show. My family was impressed, they couldn't believe I made it!
Easy to tweak with veggies you like. I left out edamame and added mushrooms. Didn't have sambol or XO, actually couldn't find them nor do I know exactly what they are so I used Sriracha. Found the Chinese sausage in an Asian market but it reminded me of a Slim Jim, UCK! so I left it out! Used chicken instead of shrimp (price and headed the warning about the amount of soy. I used the amount of soy in the recipe but used more rice.
Left overs were so good! If the contestants can make this and I can make this you CAN make this! Enjoy!

This is a tasty one dish meal with lots of protein and vegs. The recipe called for edamame, but did not say when to add it, so I put it in with the water chestnuts. I also found 1/4 cup of soy sauce to be way too much. I had trouble finding the sausage at my Chinese market but found out it is not refrigerated (until opened. I made a double quantity and took the leftovers for lunch the next day - it reheated great!

Substituted leftover pork for the shrimp and added a few mushrooms. Flavors were great and dish was easy to do. I'm sure that I will be making this again----

It was very tasty and easy, quick to make - after all of the prep work. Impossible to find Chinese sausage so I substituted a spanish sausage (won't do that again but I think if I can find chinese bbq pork then I will use that instead. 1/4 c soy sauce is way too much for 1 cup cooked rice. I actually cooked 2 cups of rice and used almost all of it plus a full lb of shrimp and 1/4 of soy sauce was plenty...and we like soy sauce. I'll definitely make this again but I will tweak the measurements.
