This was last night's dinner and I found it really good!! I didn't have any gingerroot so I used ground ginger (about 1/4 teaspoon) and I thought it worked well. The meal has tons of flavor. The combination of ingredients sounds strange but is really good. I used stir fry rice noodles in place of the rice and it was almost like a pasta meal. Yum!! No salt petite diced tomatoes are what I ended up using. It doesn't need any extra salt.
