Chicken Stir-Fry With Vegetables and Peanuts

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"You can use pork tenderloin cut into strips, in place of chicken for this recipe. The oyster sauce is optional but I add it in to mostly all of my stir-frys for added taste, if you have some add in a couple of tablespoons towards the end it will really "perk" up stir-fry dish!. We prefer our veggies crisp, if you like a softer texture, then you can steam the veggies first if you wish before stir-frying them. Serve the is cooked rice."

This has become a dish I make everytime i do Chinese. I vary the vegetables but the sauce always remains the same.

This was excellent! We enjoyed the flavors so much and the red pepper flakes gave it just the kick we liked. Will make this recipe again!
