I think this dish is missing the sweet element found in most Asian dishes with a soy garlic ginger sauce. The recipe was bland and a bit on the bitter side. Adding a tablespoon of sugar made it palatable. Pouring sweet chili sauce on made it yummy!

I would use rice wine vinegar instead of white wine, but this was a great dish.

Liked this simple stir fry. I used sake instead of white wine and it turned out great.
