  • “Really tasty!!A great way to use (and consume) fresh vegetables!”

  • “Very tasty.Next time, I’ll use lime instead of lemon – adds a bit more flavor.And I’d like a bit of chili pepper (personal taste).Otherwise, very healthy and pretty.”

  • “I used lemon and a few other adjustments with what we had in the fridge and it was fabulous!Thanks for an easy stir fry!I’ll definitely make it again…but hopefully with lemongrass as I do think that would be even better!”
