This recipe is AWESOME! I'm chinese and I must say this tastes like what my mom makes, but better. I used cauliflower in place of carrots since I didn't have any. I may try adding in some mushrooms or tofu next time too.

I skipped the green beans and onions, but added Chinese mushrooms, red bell pepper and tofu to this dish. I made the stir fry by first sauteing the ginger and garlic, then adding all of the vegetables, followed by the tofu. Next, I added the soy sauce and then the cornstarch in water to make the stir fry sauce. Tossing the vegetables in an oil-cornstarch mix may have caused the "gummy texture" problems reported by other viewers. This is a good basic stir fry recipe. If you find it bland, you can increase the amount of ginger and garlic, as well as add a bit of chili paste or crushed red pepper flakes to give it a bit more kick.

I was disappointed with the flavor of this dish. I used broccoli, mushrooms, water chestnuts, green onions, bean sprouts and carrots for my veggie mix. I even used more garlic and ginger root than recommended and used 1/4 sesame oil rather than all vegetable oil. It was okay, but that's it. Next time, I'll try some new flavors.

Absolutely delicious. I used veggies on hand, broccoli, peppers, snow peas and carrots and it was wonderful. I substituted quinoa for rice and it was great with the salmon!

Immensely, excruciatingly bland, and a little gummy thanks to the corn starch. I can use my imagination to make a stir fry juicer and more flavorful than this just by tossing in a bigger variety of veggies and more inventive sauces.

Used frozen vegetables except for the green beans where I used canned. Added red pepper flakes & garlic salt. Served along with Pork Tenderloin & Egg Fried Rice (both from this site) along with an Asian-inspired fruit salad that included bananas, apples, mango, oranges, strawberries, topped with almonds.

Extremely easy and quick to prepare! I threw in some mung bean sprouts and increased the amount of ginger. A good basic stir-fry recipe, easy to create variations.

I made this exactly as it is except I added more veggies. I added snap peas, boc choy, celery, portabello mushroom and greenbeans but I thought that the sauce was flavorless. I would probably add more garlic and more low sodium soy sauce, I would eliminate the cornstarch and I would possible throw in a splash of hoisin or maybe terriaki or just add some fresh finely chopped parsley - something to add some flavor.

very easy - used red, orange, yellow bellpepper, mushrooms and broccoli. Added slightly more ginger and garlic (fresh), served with basmati rice, and added pine nuts. No leftovers, quite healthy and tasty.

This recipe was a big hit with my husband. Like everyone else, I made some changes. I added more ginger, because we love it. I also used chicken stock instead of water, and I added about a Tablespoon plus a teaspoon of sugar. Forget about the weird stes to this recipe. Stirfry the veggies in oil until they just start to get tender. Add all the other ingredients, stir to coat and you are there!

This was so quick and easy. I followed the recipe exactly, and it tasted GREAT! I served it with brown rice. This will definitely get in the dinner shuffle. However, the serving size says 6, but I think it is more like 3 or 4.

This was VERY good! My first time doing stir-fry, and the results were fantastic. I used a little less oil, and a touch of toasted sesame oil. I also put all of the ginger in first (on accident) and added the onions w/the other veggies. I partially covered the veggies as they were cooking to speed along the process and keep the juices in. It worked very well. I used a red bell pepper instead of snow peas. I added a bit more carrots and green beans. I would add more carrots next time. Omitted the salt at the end, and used reduced-sodium soy sauce. Served with Maple Salmon and brown rice. A really, really good meal. I couldn't stop eating it!

This was a great recipe except I thought the ginger was a little overpowering. I am not used to fresh ginger however. I will definitely make again though.

I thought it was way too salty. If you're using soy sauce, you don't need additional salt.
