this one. I wondered if you made it and had any comments. I'm trying to decide between this one and one from Grace Young...unless more possibilities pop up. I'm working with no fresh herbs right now (jack rabbits and deer in the back yard), which limits my choices.

I made the recipe, making a couple of changes per other stir-fries I've made. Blanched the

sliced asparagus for 1 minute and cooked it for less time when added to the skillet with the garlic and ginger. I added an egg white to the marinade for the chicken and stir-fried raw cashews in a little peanut oil. We enjoyed it.
