We loved this!!!! Because we are big garlic fans, I chopped 2 fresh garlic cloves instead of the garlic powder. This is a great way to use those veggies. We really enjoyed the combination of ingredients. I will be making this again, for sure. Thanks, BrendaM!

This recipe tasted pretty good, although the kids (3 and 7) did not like it because of the garlic smell and taste. Make sure that the carrots and celery are cut thinly enough for stir-frying. I had the pita bread, but forgot to use it! I'll make this recipe again, but I might tweak it a bit with brown sugar or homemade sweet-sour sauce.

Yum. We loved this as well. We didn't have sesame oil in the house or green onions, but it was delicious without! Was really good for leftovers as well. This makes alot.
