Recipe Introduction
Posted by: Appy_Girl***********and I know exactly what's in it~ Whipped this goodie together in no time at all last night~ This is a very nice version and a very good clone of the ever popular Asian Take out meal~ It has all of the right ingredients to make a very healthy, filling meal~ I added some red pepper strips, carrot coins and some water chestnut slices to complete the dish.Next time I will add a little ginger. The base of this recipeis perfect for either shrimp or pork as well~ Light on the soy sauce and very delicate in flavor. Perfect for us~ Thanks Maybrie~ Its a keeper!~ Maybrie
