my sister made it last night for supper... very excellent!! She even liked it and she isn't a fan of 5-spice! She made it with ground turkey which obviously cut the fat... :)	Submitted by: RICCILYNN (10/28/09) report inappropriate
Good recipe but like some others I used ground turkey and brown rice. I did a variation of not using curry/5 spice but rather using garlic chili hot sauce (available in Asian sections of most stores) and just a dash of low sodium soy sauce. Lots of flavor and leftovers microwave well for lunch.	Submitted by: LEE1019 (10/25/09) report inappropriate
I used "veggie ground" instead of ground beef, to make it vegetarian and substituted baby corn for one of the cups of bell peppers... and added a tbsp. of sesame oil instead of the soy sauce to reduce the sodium content and add flavour. By the way, I used brown rice for extra fiber and nutrition.	Submitted by: M_JULI_M (10/25/09) report inappropriate
it calls for just a cup of ground beef for serveing of 4 which isn't very much meat. Using a pound of ground trukey would give it more meat with less fat. Use low salt soy sauce to cut back on the salt. When adding repices to use for our tracker it is important to have the right info to count it .

8oz of beef is not the same as 8 fluid ounces - I'm not sure how you calculated nutrition of "1 cup" of ground beef? I couldn't find any rice for under 140 cal/serving - I think the Spark calculator is off? I made it with 1/2lb ground turkey, no oil, & brown rice - 382 calories. Loved it!

I will use ground turkey and low sodium soy sauce.	Submitted by: BERNIE22 (9/1/09) report inappropriate
Definitely drain the fat before adding the rest of the ingredients! Put in a couple of bay leaves for added flavour; remove before serving.	Submitted by: GRAMPIAN (9/1/09) report inappropriate
This was really good. I like the suggestion of adding garlic next time. I used on TBSP of Teryiaki sauce and only 2 Soy Sauce and I used a lower sodium soy sauce to cut the sodium down. It was great!	Submitted by: MONKEYGETSFIT (5/20/09) report inappropriate
Gotta watch the salt in the soy sauce - 5 spice powder & curry don't really need soy sauce - I used a little water & more curry instead. I also added some sugar snap peas & onions for more veggies. I love stir fry!!	Submitted by: SOCKKNITTER (12/30/08) report inappropriate
made this tonight, substitued mushrooms and carrots for 3/4 of a yellow onion, also substituted hamburger for lean turkey and didn't make it with rice or soy sauce... it was very good and I calculated my changes at bringing the calories to about 110 per serving! :) Thanks for the recipe!

Haven't tried it yet, but plan to. Sounds good. Will try it with ground turkey and less sodium. Have recently found that grapeseed oil is also as good as olive oil and less expensive.	Submitted by: MTHRQUN (10/24/08) report inappropriate
U can reduce the sodium in this recipe by useing reduce sodium soy sauce. AC	Submitted by: ACLINE9527 (10/24/08) report inappropriate
I'll try it using the reduced sodium soy sauce.	Submitted by: MUFASA42 (10/24/08) report inappropriate
The nutrician facts says no cholesterol? That doesn't sound right and the sodium, oh my that is a lot. I think I will skip making this one. It is sure to cause water retention and other problems	Submitted by: TRUKRSGRL (10/24/08) report inappropriate
I notice this says there's no cholesterol, but could that be right--I mean it is made with beef and no matter how lean it is, there would still be some cholesterol. And I agree that the sodium is high--I'd like to make this--will have to see what I can adjust--thanks.	Submitted by: FAYBEE3 (10/24/08) report inappropriate
Yikes, the sodium is extremely high!	Submitted by: MWEIHING (10/24/08) report inappropriate
Is the rice calculated in the calorie count? It's not in the ingredients list, but is in the directions for preparation. Like many, I would do my own calculations for true calorie counts.	Submitted by: TUESDAYS (10/24/08) report inappropriate
I'm beginning to wonder the accuracy of sparkpeople's nutrition calculations. There was something else recently that gave me that suspicion, (actually a few things), but I don't remember specifically what they were.	Submitted by: KDA1981 (8/31/08) report inappropriate
I love hambugar dishes. Sounds good. But for dieters and or health conscience people, please drain the grease from ANY hambugar before mixing other ingredients to any hambugar dish. The fat in the grease is phenominal!	Submitted by: MARSHA48 (8/31/08) report inappropriate
Very tasty but you'll need more spice. I didn't use soy sause but rather stir fry for less salty taste. Also substituted brown rice for the white. I will definitely make again.	Submitted by: TERACAM (2/18/08) report inappropriate
Always looking to find ways to use 5 spice powder, so I'll try this. Will use lower sodium tamari and definitely BROWN rice!	Submitted by: CARNEY8 (2/14/08) report inappropriate
This sounds great. I think when I make it, I will use ground turkey. The flavor is great and it brings the calories and fat down.	Submitted by: CRUBYSAIL (2/14/08) report inappropriate
