Use less ginger! I would say 1/2 to 3/4 Tablespoon of jarred ginger is plenty. I also doubled the peanut butter and added tofu, carrots & cabbage. Yum!

Way too much cornstarch. I would say start with half and see if that does the trick. Otherwise, flavor was great!

This is the first dish that I've ever cooked using lentils. I thought I'd give it a try, and with a few additions it turned out quite well. I sauteed three cloves of garlic with the onion before adding the orange lentils, water and tomato paste. I didn't add the (turkey) pepperoni until I added the other veggies (didn't think it needed to stew for quite so long), and the added veggies needed 55 min. to cook instead of the 35-45 minutes called for. Other notes: I subbed Italian seasoning for the oregano/sage, added two bay leaves, omitted the salt and had to add an extra cup of water to keep this from being too thick. This was a tasty, extremely filling, and economical recipe. Thanks for sharing, Diane!
