Very good stir fry. It didn't send us over the moon, but it was quite enjoyable. This fed a crowd of 7 tonight (2 unexpected guests) and I used a pound of boneless chicken. There was no shortage of chicken. I added some red pepper strips for color. A couple folks wanted additional soy sauce at the table. Thanks for posting!Reply
