I think it looks great but was to bland. I think it needs some flavor help. I also added some swiss chard and soy sauce with extra ginger. I think that some red pepp ers flakes would add the punch it needs. Also need time I will add the oranges at the very last just to heat them up because they fall apart to fast.

The sauce for this recipe was very bland. I tried adding extra ginger as well as some soy sauce, honey, and red pepper flakes to punch it up, but it was too little to late. The mandarin oranges disintegrated with the extra cooking time, so if you're trying this recipe, be sure to add them right before serving.

Too much liquid. I added bamboo shoots, carrots, and peppers, but there was too much broth and not enough flavor. Excellent texture and blending of nutrients across the meal. I might try more ginger and more asian spices.

Sounds interesting. I would have to delete the mandarin oranges, but the rest is okay.
