I would definitely recommend steaming the vegetables as opposed to boiling them, especially if you prefer them with a bit of a crisp/bite to them. I saw lots of reviewers had mentioned that it was kind of bland so I went ahead and added some soy sauce and thought it was a great combination. Didn't thicken up as much as I'd like, but that could very well be me.... cornstarch and I don't always get along!

I was really pleased with both how relatively easy this was to make and how well it turned out. I used shrimp, clams (shucked), chicken and kielbasa. Didn't omit any of the veggies, and used long grain brown rice instead of the white rice, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I felt like it was a little on the soupy side, so just cooked it longer than called for. I also wish it was a bit spicier which I'll just adjust next time by adding in some more spices or I'll use spicy sausage. Definitely worth making again though

If you like (well more like if you love) cheese, then this will be the sauce for you. But, you have to really really love a cheesy sauce otherwise it will just be too much- too much cheese, too rich, too creamy. I love cheese, so this is a great sauce for me that I've incorporated into other non pasta dishes and found it goes well with other dishes- chicken, veggies, etc.
