Thanks for sharing this excellent recipe! I made mine a little less low-fat by sauteing in olive oil instead of chicken broth, and I left out the celery and green pepper and added some broccoli. I used fresh pineapple and a little less soy sauce than the recipe called for. I also subbed rice wine vinegar for the white vinegar. We ate this over brown basmati rice.
