I'm not much of a cook, so when I say this was fun to make and so good over Jasmine rice, believe it! It fed 3 adults. I made the following substitutions: Cabernet Sauvignon instead of rice wine or sherry; Crystallized Ginger; no lotus root, jicama, nor zucchini, so I used Celery, Green Onion, and Yellow Bell Pepper. I will definitely use this recipe again! Next time, I'll add Red Pepper Flakes and some Chinese 5-Spice to the sauce.

We thought it was tasty but lacked enough flavor. We had leftover pork tenderloin that we added, bok choy, carrots, bean sprouts and onions. We did not alter the ingredients for the sauce or the cooking times. We ranged between a 3.5 and a 4.5 at our house and we are not afraid to dive into recipes.

We absolutely loved this - though we did make a few changes.
There was no jicama available, so we skipped that.
We couldn't find lotus root.
Everything else - we followed the recipe to a "T".
The simplicity of the recipe used with fresh, quality ingredients produced a very yummy result. We served the stir fry over brown rice, along with mango chicken sausage. Everyone loved it! Next time, however, we will double the recipe - our family of 4 ate every bite and all agreed, we wish there were leftovers!
