Great and easy recipe! Very flavorful, and the broccoli was a nice touch for balanced meal. Thanks for sharing! Culinary Quest '14 -
This recipe is perfect! The dry sherry in the sauce gives it a fantastic flavour. This has been our regular "stir fry" recipe for years...thanks for sharing it :D -
A definite repeater in our house. Next time I will double the sauce without doubling the cornstarch as it was a little dry for our taste. I also didn't need to cover the wok. I did add some shredded carrots mainly for the color. Very good. Thanks for posting.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
