This was easy to make, took some time to cut all the veggies up, but well worth it! I cut the oils down a little and didn't use as much chili sauce because my kids don't like spicy foods. I will be making this again, only doubling it so there is some left over! Even my fussy daughter ate the veggies in it and didn't complain!
