Pork and Broccoli Stir-Fry II

Annacia's Note:

Stir fry's are so good and it's so easy to work a lot of veggies into a meal with them. I had some yellow bell pepper left from something else, that was chopped into this and it went perfectly.

Very good, a little salty, maybe from the roast I used. I did substitute celery for the water chestnuts. Will make again!

This was very good. The sauce had good flavor and thickened up nicely. I used celery instead of water chestnuts and green onion instead of yellow. The pork turned out a bit tough but I think I may have just cooked it a minute too long. I'll definitely try this again.

Was just okay for me, thank you for sharing but I'm not sure I will be making again. Tasted ok, was easy enough just looking for more flavour.
