This is an absolutely surprisingly and tasty dish. I have been cooking it for about 2 years now. I don't use the sherry- it is not included in the recipe book version of this. It is not as complicated or difficult to make as it sounds, either.I have substituted soy sauce for teriyaki sauce, used different types of onion( thinner slices cook more fully), and use whatever nuts I have on hand. This last time, I even put cauliflower in it . Broccoli is also a tasty addition.
