I thoroughly enjoyed this. I rehydrated the mushrooms the night before when I had some extra time so I didn't have to worry about it. I subbed green pepper for the red, and use a 3-color slaw blend instead of slicing up cabbage - the carrots just added to it. I also used only 2 eggs since I didn't have 3, and I think it was plenty. I made the accompanying quick chinese pancakes as well. I though it was a great flavor combo, and is very filling. I will definitely make this again.06/14/07

This is a good weeknight dinner that I have been making for years--cooks up quickly with lots of crunch, good flavor. Can add tofu or chicken if you want more protein. A meatless dish that meat-eaters will enjoy.08/14/04
