Took it to a church dinner and there were only 2 tablespoons full leftover....no one would take the last. People kept coming up and commenting on it. It was a hit! I used yellow instead of red onions, as that is what I had. Since I had no baby corn I used hearts of palm instead. I also had some rapini that needed to be used up, so I added that too. I almost doubled the amount of orange juice....1.5 times what is called for would be just perfect. Jasmine rice is what I had so that is what I used. People really raved about it. The red pepper flakes were few enough that even people who don't eat heat liked it.

This was yummy! Kind of like a vegetarian orange chicken. I also added some soy sauce (so less salt) and lime, and a little more veggies.

Delicious! I used white rice, because that was all I had. Then I added some extra orange juice as well as a couple tablespoons of soy sauce to the sauce. It was such a good, simple, yet satisfying meal! Thank you.
