    This is one of my favs, I use a bag of stir fry veggies to make it quicker, also I use a lot more garlic (good for the heart!) and extra ginger (BTW, fresh makes a big diff. in taste). I use an entire can of baby corns too (look in the asian section of store to find them). Always a fav. @ my home! - 3/27/08

    excellent recipe! i added extra ginger and some oyster sauce to make it truly spectacular- the trick is not to overcook so that it stays crisp and delish! - 3/6/09

    It is much better when you sub. low sodium soy sauce or tamari for the worchestershire. Also more garlic and I used a bunch of green onions for more flavor. - 8/25/08

    I agree... original recipe rather bland. Good idea to use soy or even fish sauce. I would also like sweet pepper and more garlic. - 3/1/09
