I did not actually make these into packets, rather spreading the vegetables on top of the flounder. The taste of the flounder was not very pronounced, the seasoned vegetables overpowered it: I still thought this was outstanding. I also added several drops of sesame flavoring oil to the peanut oil I was sauting the vegetables in. I think that this makes a profound, delicious difference! I totally loved this dish! Believe it or not I served this with Italian Risotto. Both dishes had very subtle yet different flavors which I found compelling! Using Italian Arborio Rice - I sauted 1 cup rice in 2 Tsbs. butter (Irish). Add ichopped onion and 1 tsp. garlic. Add 1/2 cup dry white wine, slowly add 3 cups hot chicken broth, 1/2 cup at a time until creamy. Fold in 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately! I thought this was a great recipe!
