  • The sodium count on this recipe MUST be wrong! I entered the recipe into Mastercook, and got 1361 mg of sodium per serving. Still not great, but that is soy sauce for you. - 4/10/08

    This recipe sounds good but couldn't make it because of the sodium count. Being on a low sodium diet and with my blood presure being high anything that high in sodium I can't have. - 4/10/08

  • I didn't make this exactly because I didn't have all the ingredients, but use 1 cup carrots, chives rather than leek, doubled the sesame seeds rather than have the oil, and put in about 1 T of fish sauce...cooked all in microwave using frozen salmon. Great! Forgot the flavor of 5 spice. - 4/10/08

  • This dish was wonderful. I added mushrooms to the leek and carrot sauce because I love those little things. Also I only had regular soy sauce and it did make the sauce too salty. Next time, low sodium for sure!!! I will definitely make this recipe again. - 10/8/07

  • Great recipe - I use the marianade even when I don't have the veggies for the whole recipe. With the veggies the meal looks as impressive as it tastes! I never thought my husband would eat leaks before I tried this recipe. - 3/14/07
