Sweet & Sassy Stirfry

Submitted by Starrynews

"“Sweet and sassy” because the sauce adds some sweet heat and tart and tangy flavors to the variety of veggies and noodles. Depending on your tastebuds and the heat your chili sauce packs, feel free to add some hot sauce or red pepper flakes to give it an extra punch! Enjoy!"

We liked this quick stir-fry. It was sassy enough for the diner who likes mild and had a nice sweetness. I liked the ease of the sauce. All are pantry ingredients for me so it will be a quick go to on clean out the veggie bin days. I was surprised by the cooked radishes; we liked them more than expected. Good luck in the contest!

it was sweet and slightly sassy, and made for a very good stir fry. I'm a big fan of stir fry, so this was a nice change to the kind of stir fry I usually do.

Oh, this was sweet, but not quite sassy enough for my taste. I added a touch of Korean sweet snd sour sauce for a nice kick. Love the combination of noodles and vegetables.
