I've tried several veggie stir-fries and I've never been impressed until I tried this recipe. The sauce coated the veggies really nicely. I used green beans, carrots, and bell peppers, and I didn't actually measure out any of the sauce ingredients, but it turned out great. I especially liked the cashews as well. I served it over jasmine rice, and it made an easy and delicious meal.

The sauce was sooo good, and the selection of vegetables was great! The crunch from the cashews was a really nice accent. Thanks for sharing!

My family inhaled this! Made it one night while DH was working, as he's not fond of veggies, but let me tell you what, my boys said, "Oh you have to make this again".... They rate dishes too ;) And this one was wonderful. Thanks for sharing. ~V

Oh, I loved this!! I used tangerine juice instead of orange (almost the same) and it was wonderful. I never thought I could get my husband to love a meal with no meat...until he tried this one. :)
