     regarding not using hot water from the tap, it also could cause your heater to kick on even if you are drawing only 2 or 3 cups. Then the heater brings the whole tank back up to temp. so it's chaeper to use the gas on the stove to heat the water - 2/3/10

     I love asian style cuisine so I'm excited to try this. After reading some comments, add a few tablespoons of cornstartch to the half cup of water while it's cold and add it cold to the pan and let it heat up and it will thicken the sauce. If you like spicy, add some siracha-a thai hot sauce. - 11/18/10

     I loved this recipe! I made a few adjustments: used 4 thin boneless loin chops instead of a roast, added 2 green peppers. Third I added at least an additional tablespoon of stone ground mustard (5 calories per tsp, it does not hurt nutrition value) Delicious! - 9/24/12

     This sounds like it would be really good with chicken, too. We eat mostly chicken so that is probably what I will use. - 2/3/10

     It was all great until I added the 1/2 cup of hot water to the sauce - watered it down and made everything soupy. Will make again but add small amounts of water to get a good consistency but not lose the flavor. Served over ramen noodles (w/out using the soup base) which i loved! - 4/17/10

     Really delicious I never have had success with home made Chinese foods but this was easy and so tasty. Very fast and simple to make Was a little more expensive than meg's quote ($21.00 to be exact.) but well worth it . - 2/27/10
  • GLORYBITSME
     Made recipe as written with the exception of using chicken instead of pork. Will definitely make again. - 2/5/12

     I added scallions and hot pepper flakes to spice it up a bit. I really enjoyed the flavors, but was concerned about the mustard. It wasn't as strong a flavor as I thought, but I will leave it out next time. Also, I don't think you need quite so much water. Mine was a little loose. - 2/8/10

     Hey! There are peppers in the picture, but not the recipe! I nearly didn't look at the recipe because peppers make me bleed. - 5/5/12

     Sauce was pretty bland. Might try tweaking it some, but probably won't make this again...

    Tried it again, adding ginger & lime. Tastes better!! - 9/19/10

     May I suggest that you add about a 1/4 cup of hot pickled peppers and a tablespoon of the juice. This will take all those wonderful flavours and kick it up a notch! Also not bad on calorie count.

     Just 2 of us. I used the full amount of veggies plus a red bell pepper. Half the amount of pork. Full amount of sauce - which I know changed our calories. But it was delicious. - 9/2/10
