My family thinks this tastes too much like ketchup. Not a good thing.

    I made this last night and it was a huge hit with the family. We didn't find it to catsuppy and liked all the flavors. I added a little oyster sauce and broccoli instead of snow peas and it was totally awesome! DH says this is absolutely on the monthly menu now. TY TY TY

    Excellent recipe! Definitely restaurant quality. I substitued the carrots and snowpeas with a 16oz bag of oriental mix frozen vegetables. I think the cashews are a nice touch, but not necessary as it is the sauce that makes this dish. The ginger gives this dish a wonderful flavor.
