"A yummy stirfry recipe! Instead of using store bought veggies, sub in with whatever is on hand: bean sprouts, sweet peppers, snow peas, carrots, and bamboo shoots (for example) all work marvelously!"

Great recipe! I used fresh veggies only: carrots, red & yellow peppers, leeks, and snap peas (plus the green part of the green onion). I also used fresh apricots instead of canned ones and used the juice from the pineapple as my base.
