A lot more prepping than I usually do. It seemed a bit bland to me.

  Did you substitute any ingredients? Because fresh lime, ginger, jalapeno, garlic, and basil add tons of flavor to this dish. And since you mention that it's more prep work than you usually do I wonder if you substituted something...?

Really liked this recipe because of all the fresh flavors. Good balance of veggies too. The whole thing is very easy to make and with the brown rice, fat-free broth, and low use of oil it is a healthy dinner as well. Will make this again I'm sure. I wouldn't change a thing.

This dish was easy & delicious! I only switched the veggies mushroom & snow peas, to yellow squash & broccoli, that were available in my garden, but with everything else the same. It has good flavor & the various textures keep it interesting from start to finish. Hubby loved it too, but our young kids may take a few tries til they get used to the asian flavor. Will definitely do again!
