    Dinner prep is not 10 minutes for this recipe. There is lots of prepping before you even start cooking. It would be very helpful to update timing on prep and cooking for this recipe. Veggies cooking time is much longer than directed as well as all of the steps combined. It would be way more realistic to say 30-45 minutes prep and cooking time. With that being said, the combination is nice. The flavor could use some boosting.

      Nice flavour but not enough ginger for our taste and no spice, add sriracha to it. Better with sriracha
