I recently bought the Forks Over Knives (FOK) cookbook and I’m trying some of the recipes. This one is from that book and it came out great. I made it exactly as stated except that I used ground ginger instead of fresh, and I used water instead of vegetable stock. For the 3 cups of vegetables I used a frozen stir fry mix.
