Have made this twice now and family has really enjoyed! Little changes, I cut carrot into match sticks and sauteed with the peppers and onions to caramelize instead of shedding it. I also add squirt of ketchup at the end, (about Tbl.) it kinda mellows the vinegar a little. Some crushed red pepper is also good on this, but I can only do this on mine, to hot for everyone else.

Wonderfu flavour! I made this from a leftover half of a huge boneless pork chop, so added it at the last just to heat up. Also had fresh juciy pineaple to use up and grated up some fresh ginger. Uesed chopped green onion, yellow sweet pepper and veggie spray instead of the canola oil. Just made enough for two. Turned out soooo delicious over brown rice!! Thanks so much for posting, I will be making this one again.
