Very easy and very tasty. Added some cornstarch to it to thicken it up slightly like a local Chinese resturant does. Will use some of the variations mentioned from earlier reviewers next time.01/27/10

I admit I goofed... I accidentally used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. It was still good, but my husband (who also loves to cook) and I kept coming up with ways to spice it up - fresh ginger, wasabi powder, a little red pepper, etc.06/11/09
