We thoroughly enjoyed this lovely dish for dinner tonight. I had extra meat, so doubled everything. For the veggies, I went for lots of colour and used snow peas, bok choy, red bell pepper (capsicum), young corn and red onion. It looked sensational. <br/>But the recipe refers to Spicy and I wished it had been a bit spicier. I didn't have szechuan hot bean sauce, so used a New Zealand hot chilli sauce called 'Fire', but it still wasn't anything more than warm. So I expect this will be perfect for people who don't want too much heat. Thanks so much for posting. Will make again, but will add more heat.

Jalapeno Pepper, thinly sliced (with ribs & seeds). 1 bag Mixed Fresh Greens (Chard, Kale, Mustard.) Increased Garlic to 3 Large cloves, chopped (half goes in meat marinade, rest is added in sauce).
