Very good. Even my husband who didn't like the sounds of the dish liked it. I think you could substitute any nuts since the pistachios add more crunch than flavor.

I just made this and it was wonderful. I didn't have pistachios or fresh ginger so I substituted pine nuts and 1/4 t. ground ginger; it didn't change its appeal.
