I'm not sure what went wrong, but my gingery peas and water chestnuts turned out mushy. I think I overcooked them.

I'm not a big fan of ginger, so I used less than the recipe called for. It was still flavorful, but not too spicy.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out bland. I think it needs more seasoning.

Just made this dish and it turned out great! The peas were perfectly crisp and the water chestnuts added a nice crunch. The ginger gave it a nice kick. Will definitely make again.
