Notes

*Frozen Asian Veggies:  You can use any frozen Asian blend that you like, ours included the following: edamame, sugar snap peas, baby cob corn, red peppers, and water chestnuts

*Ginger: If you like the flavor of ginger, use ½ teaspoon of ginger; if you LOVE the flavor of ginger, use 1 teaspoon of ginger or more.
