This is low fat and has nice asian flavors, clear but not overpowering. Defnintely not for serving with traditional European dishes – serve with asian dishes.

This recipe was easy and I thought it would compliment an italian pot roast I was fixing. With the wide array of flavors, the children were not interested in it. I would cook this again if it were for just the adults or if I was entertaining. It just isn’t a family dish.
Patricia Costa
This recipe had a nice Asian flavor. I fixed it for company and we all liked it very much. I skipped the first step, however, and just mixed the ingredients together and tossed it with the steamed broccoli. The red pepper made it look pretty. I would fix it again.
