    We love ginger, and this recipe looked so good to me, I just had to try it. I used London Broil instead of the flank steak, as that's what I had in the freezer. I cut the steak while a little bit frozen for ease of cutting, and sliced about 1/4" thick. Worked like a charm! We had with rice on the side, and next time I may double the water at the end of cooking time, and then thicken and add in the rice and maybe some peas for something different. Thanks for sharing!

    excellent! I doubled the sauce ingredients but kept the sugar and crushed red pepper flakes the same. I also thickened the sauce a bit with cornstarch.

    I am giving this 5 stars for the flavour.... the simplicity was 0... just because it was a lot of prep work... but besides that.. a great challenge... the only complaint was that there wasn't too much sauce in the dish.. Please remember when making this dish to use only fresh garlic and ginger ( I grated this) ..... I am thinking that if I added a cup of water to the soy "mixture" sauce, the perfect meld of incorporating rice and meat may be attained?
