Thai Style Stir Fry

This recipe is very versatile. You can make it with chicken or pork, or just lots of veggies. I usually use fresh veggies in the stir fry but you also can use a 16 oz package of frozen veggies, thawed in place of them. The sauce is the real star here. Everything balances so nicely!
