This is a nice basic stir fry and goes together quickly despite the lengthy list of ingredients. I really enjoyed this meal, I did vary some of the veggies to suit my needs, loved the cashews - yum.

Made just half of this recipe & used just 1/4 of the smallest chili pepper I could find! Other than that, I used the ingredients as indicated (chose peanut oil over vegetable, used snow peas & chicken stock & a very rounded measure of nuts) & had A VERY TASTY STIR-FRY, something I'd be happy to make again!

This is your typical, classic stir fry. I used some chicken in it and for veges, I used zucchini, carrots, and some frozen mixed veges. It was really yummy! Made for ZWT 4.
