Big lack of flavor! ...1/8 of a teaspoon of ground ginger and garlic powder? Decided to try this recipe and won't waste my time again. This is just blah.. lack of vegetables, real garlic and ginger..a can of wilted gross bean sprouts? I have found far better in the freezer aisle..Is there anything wrong with using fresh produce?- this recipe is beyond disgusting!
