     This sounds fantastic, they are great at P F'S. You have my vote. - 10/29/09

     Again - way too high in sodium. I've had these at PF Changs, but that was before (or maybe why) I had to start taking 3 meds to control my blood pressure! - 11/4/09

    I do understand that this is still very high in sodium, but I could only imagine what the orginal at PF Chang's would be. The soy sauce is hte lower sodium and you could remove the teriyaki sauce. Any asian flavored lower sodium alternative would work fine here - everything else is veggies!!! :-)

     This was very good! It's spicy (and we like spicy), so I'll cut the red pepper flakes in half next time. I also doubled the chopped pepper, carrots and mushrooms. Good stuff! - 4/19/12

     Amazing!! incredibly filling and very flavorful!!! Will make again,, however i will use much less red pepper. I like spicey food and that 1 tablespoon was too hot for me. I think I will go with a teaspoon next time. But I was pleased!!! - 1/31/12

     These were really yummy...but, they were VERY spicy.(Even made my hubby's eyes water!) A previous review indicated they were on the spicy side and I agree. Good, but hot. If you aren't a spicy food lover, better reduce (or omit) the red pepper. - 5/14/10

     These were really good, but really spicy, and I think I can handle pretty spicy food. I will make again but decrease the red pepper. - 2/16/10
  • PASSIONFRUITFOX
     Very good however it was too spicy for me. Next time I'm going to just use 1 tsp of red pepper flakes (eyes were watering the entire time I ate this). Otherwise yum! - 1/6/10

     This was absolutely delicious. I substituted extra lean ground beef and fogot to put in my water chestnuts but still really yummy! - 2/15/21

     This sounds very good. I saved the recipe to try. - 6/8/20
  • SRIVERS1
     This is very good. As far as the Sodium. I used low Sodium Soy Sauce, Teriyaki sauce & used alternatives for spices. It was very good. And PF Chang's it a lot higher in Sodium FYI. - 11/25/18

     Didn't use the teriyake sauce, used just a dash of the soy sauce and omitted the maple syrup. Tasted delicious! - 10/18/18
  • MARTHA324
     These are terrific! I made them for two of us using a half package of Garden "meatless" crumbles. Used almost all the veggies and added a small zucchini and added 1/3 to the sauce. Since we had lettuce I just put it over that. Absolutely great and will definitely make it again. Easy too. - 6/21/18

     Will keep this in my collection of recipes, thanks to other member comments I backed off on the amount of red pepper flakes otherwise very tasty served as a wrap but could just as easily serve it over rice - 4/25/17
  • DALMOM2007
     Actually tastes as good as it looks. My new favorite. Regarding the sodium issue, I used low sodium Kikkoman Teriyaki and soy sauce. Also, I used 100% maple syrup instead of suger free. Other then that, nothing else to change....just fantastic, full, spicy flavor! - 1/8/16

     I loved it! Hubby likes it and no complaints from the kiddos = winner. - 4/16/13
  • NINERINI
     These were pretty good, my 9yr old who doesn't like things too spicy LOVED these! I only did 1/2t of pepper flakes and added both garlic and sesame oil. Will reduce the ginger a little and will only do 1/4t of pepper flakes next time. Definitely something we will do again! - 4/5/13
  • MADJODELLIE
     I love spicy food but do not add more that 1-1.5 tsp of red pepper! I'm not sure how you could eat it. Such an amazing recipe!!! - 3/6/13
  • THATGAYCHICK
     Made this and it was yummy! I used romaine lettuce and made more of a boat than a wrap. And I maybe used a bit too much red pepper but this recipe is definite keeper! - 1/3/13
  • CD13206973
     Just made this! We did 1 tsp of the red pepper flakes, cooked the turkey in some minced garlic and added cucumber and bean sprouts on top! YUM! - 10/6/12
  • BLACKTOBRASS
     Agree that it is really, really spicy, but the flavor is great! Made it with diced chicken. Consider bibb lettuce and low sodium teriyaki. - 9/11/12
  • ROSEBOMB
     There is nothing soothing about this recipe. I couldn't get past the heat to find out if the flavor was good or not. I drank water for hours to stop the burning. - 5/4/12
  • CD12077936
     I haven't tried making this yet? How significant is the sugar free maple syrup?? - 3/19/12
  • KAI728
     We loved this recipe, used diced chicken breast cause we were out of turkey, but it was fabulous! - 3/15/12
  • ONEGEEKYGIRL1
     Love this!!! Will be a weekly rotation. I used one tsp of crushed red pepper and it was a sophisticated flavor of savory and sweet. Next time I will be adding even more veggies. I Googled how to separate lettuce leaves and some people use Romaine. Delish! - 2/26/12
