This was okay for me -- I ate it and enjoyed it! -- but as I often think when cooking something for the first time, it was missing a little something. I added garlic based on comments here as well as chicken broth and dark soy sauce -- two typical ingredients in most "basic" Chinese sauces. (The soy sauce is needed to balance out the strong taste of the rice wine but adds sodium.) I still think that the beef probably should have been marinated before using part of the sauce. These are just my picky notes. It was an okay meal with jasmine rice, but one that could be improved upon next time.

This was really great with some brown jasmine rice. I did substitute the canola oil for some sesame oil to add more flavor to it. To make it awesome I would probably add garlic and some shitake mushrooms to it next time.

this was a great recipe! Really easy to make...I didn't bother chopping the shrimp and just put them in whole. Everyone loved this including the kids!

Will definitely make this again - the beef came out really tender and the shrimp was fantastic. I will try switching the rice wine next time, probably to whatever wine we'll enjoy with the meal. Served it with soba noodles, but next time we'll try something else as well - maybe some ramen noodles or rice noodles. Bok choy is now a favorite for our preschool aged sons.

Really liked this - easy to prepare and warms up well. To make it even more healthy, I put it over spaghetti squash, which adds an extra bit of crunchy to it that I really enjoyed.
