    I made some standard variations on this, and it turned out well. Sesame oil for Olive, some extra veggies, and used less steak, but it was strip loin. I use a chinese five spice powder in lots of my stirfrys, and this one also got some lemon juice. Was a good base to work from though, thanks! - 10/10/08

    I agree that fresh ginger makes a world of difference and I, too, added a smidge of sesame oil for flavor, but it has a low smoking point and I don't use it for frying. - 11/8/07
