This was really good, the onion soup mix was a different addition to my regular stir-fry recipes. I used snow peas, yellow bell pepper, and mushrooms.

My husband actually gave this the four stars. I'm not much of a stir fry person, so I'll go with his rating. I thought this was good...not great...but good. Served over jasmine rice. I used sesame oil and olive oil and browned the chicken but it came out tough and overcooked (probably my fault). I also added some crushed red pepper to the sauce to give it a little more flavor. For veggies, I used celery, green and yellow peppers, red onion, green onions, bok choy, and asparagus. I also added salt and pepper. Stir fried (separately) some shrimp and added them in at the last few minutes.

I used this recipe only for the sauce. It was really easy and tasted great. I had hoped it would have a little stronger flavor, but all in all it was so simple and my family really liked it. THanks for an easy stir fry!
