- This recipe was made by Hugh Carpenter at a cooking class I took at the Draeger's Culinary Center in San Mateo.
- Which day, he used a bell pepper, asparagus, 2 baby bok choy, yellow squash, green onion, and ginger instead of the veggies called for.
- I usually just use what's available at the store.
- He also suggests stirring in smoked BBQ chicken, rare roast beef, dungeness crab, or possibly cooked salmon fillet.
