My family enjoyed this meal. My prep time was a bit longer do to being new to cooking, and shelling the beans. - 23 Mar 2010 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Made half withv tofu & half with salmon steaks. Too much work. Also I used dries peas cooked instead of edamame as that is what I had on hand. - 20 Sep 2011 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
