• This recipe is very simple, but it takes more experimenting than anything to get it right.  Experiment with various amounts of soy sauce, vegetables, meat, cooking time, etc. until you find what you like best.  I'll give a basic idea of the ingredients, but you really have to try this out several times until you find the best way to make it.
