Comes out pretty bland as written; additional spices of some kind are needed.

As it is a good start to a flavorful dish. I added fresh ginger, garlic, and a little hot pepper oil. We like a little heat. Sometimes add mushrooms. For the protein, chicken or shrimp is a wonderful addition. After a little additions it is a 5 star dish.

Has anyone made this with something other than chicken broth? Like maybe vegetable broth? Visitors coming and I'd like to make this, but one is allergic to all poultry and one is a vegetarian. Help?

I absolutely love this dish. I agree with some of the others & I added ginger, minced garlic, & a lil garlic powder to the dish while cooking. I also added some soy sauce to my bowl.

This was a very nice quick veggie side with an Asian flair. We had found some beautiful snow peas at the store and could not pass them up. Did not know how I was going to fix them until I stumbled across this one. Instead of carrots I used a can of water chestnuts which complimented the sauce and still gave you some crunch and crispness to the dish.

An alright recipe, but I don't think it had much flavor. I definitely added some extra soy sauce.

This was pretty good. I prepared it as written but next time I'll add some ginger and garlic to the pan before adding the peas/carrots. As per Salser713, I'll also add sesame seeds when serving next time. I had no problem mixing the soy with cornstarch as did jen55. However, it would be easy, with no change to the taste, to combine the soy, cornstarch and broth and add it to the pan all at once. There's no need to make it 2 steps. I'll make this again according to my notes above. it's good to have simple recipes like this on hand

Excellent! I added some fried garlic to jazz it up a bit.

Simple, tasty recipe that is now a family favourite. As other suggested I added some sesame seed prior to serving. I also added a 200 gram pack of udon noodles to soak up the sauce and served with a pork chop.
