Good flavour. The sauce is very tasty, I doubled the ingredients for that to use with the rice and it worked very well. I also added mushrooms to the vegetables. You could add sliced carrots, broccoli, etc. If you didn't have snow peas, you could use a combination of these other vegetables. I sprinkled the finished dish with toasted sliced almonds. Adding this recipe to my repetoire, for sure.
Took much longer than stated, and sauce turned out all clumpy - so much starch! Would not make this recipe again.
One of our favorite recipes. It's so easy and quick.
