A great new way to cook fish
I was thrilled with this recipe, as was my boyfriend. We love all the ginger and garlic, and the vegetables; but next time we'll probably use fresh instead of frozen. They were overcooked and lost much of their flavor by the time the stew was ready to eat. I'm making it again this week!
