This was delicious, easy to make, and healthy with the variety of vegetables. The ginger and onions gave it just enough spiciness. Great served over brown rice. Will definitely make this one again.01/16/09

My kids just did not like this sauce as it was too strong. There is a lot of ginger and you really need to like ginger to enjoy this sauce. We voted that we will not make this one again.01/02/09
