Very tasty and incredibly easy. I served it over Jasmine rice. Based on the other reviews, I cut back just a bit on the vinegar. The addition of the scallions and drizzle of sesame oil at the end really added to the dish.01/22/09

I definitely plan to make this dish again in the future - simply outstanding - the fresh ginger made my tastebuds dance! I did not have any rice vinegar on hand, so I substituted it with almost 1/3 cup (minus 4 T) white wine vinegar and about 4 tablespoons of rice cooking wine (to make the 1/3 cup complete). We did not find this dish to be overly tart... maybe due to the substitued ingredients? I just logged in online for the first time to be certain this recipe is saved - we love it that much & hope you do, too.12/15/08
