It is a great side dish, I didn't use the broth but just water and was fine. I mixed the vegetables all together, and bok choy become too mushy, should have followed the recipe directions. I will make it better next time.

This was good but lacked flavor. A pinch (or two) of red pepper flakes helped a lot

Great healthy side. We used frozen beans and added garlic. My 2 year old would not eat it.

I added some garlic in after the onions and some black pepper after the broth. Good!

I subbed sesame oil for the peanut oil and garlic for the shallot, just what I had on hand. It was a little bland - maybe a dash of red pepper flakes would have helped. Still it was colorful and everyone liked it.

I added garlic and ginger. I also used a bit of fish sauce and one more tablespoon of soy sauce. It was tasty.

Easy and flavorful. I added extra ginger and served it with Chinese Pork Shoulder from this site.

This was an excellent quick & easy recipe! I didn't follow it exactly, but I almost never do. Firstly, I didn't measure anything. I approximated amounts and substituted ingredients based on what I had on hand. This recipe works GREAT for that! I used 1 large carrot, 3 bunches of baby bok choy, left out the green beans (didn't have any), and used 2 cloves of garlc and 1/4 onion in place of the shallots. I also used tamari instead of soy sauce. Otherwise, followed the order of cooking and used times as a guideline. If you've ever stir fried before, just follow your instincts. Had it over jasmine rice with chicken adobo (used a family recipe), and my fiance and I loved it! I will definitely use this recipe again! I think next time I might throw in a few other veggies, peanuts, and some tofu to make this a tasty vegetarian main dish. Great starting point!

Absolutely fabolous! Really low-cal, packed full of veggies and vitamins. Remember to use low sodium stock! Otherwise it'll be too salty. Oh and to add flavour, i added 1 crushed garlic clove at the beginning of the recipe. I think if your eating this by itself, as a stir fry it has too much liquid in it. But if you mix it with rice or noodles or something, they soak up the liquid so it isnt much of an issue. I served mine with some cooked white rice. Thanks for sharing!

This turned out ok but the recipe timings are really off. The carrots and green beans took a lot longer to soften than the recipe states, and there's no way that minced shallots should go in first. I also suggest using sesame oil instead of peanut oil for a bit more flavor. I served it with 'Chinese Roasted Chicken' from this site. Nice meal. Thanks.

Healthy, but slightly bland. For us, it made only barely 4 servings. I used frozen green beans and they worked fine.

It was okay. In the future I think I'll just make my stir fry and add bok choy.

This was actually really good. The peanut oil adds subtle but good flavor. I also added some sweet onion and bean sprouts.

With a few adjustments, not as bland as others have remarked. I sautéed garlic with the shallots, substituted snap peas for beans, used a little bit less than 1/3 c of tamari,and added about 1/4 tsp. of ground red pepper. Good over brown rice.

I agree that as written, this would have been pretty bland. I swapped broccoli for the green beans, used more bok choy, added some garlic, some five spice powder and some red pepper flakes. Now it had some flavor.
