Delicious! I also used chicken instead of pork (I was looking for a chicken recipe when I came across this one). I didn't use the green pepper though, but chose to add broccoli and increase the vegetables overall. In place of the water I used chicken broth, and to stir in with the cornstarch: a little rice wine. Then at the end I gave it a splash of sesame oil for that little extra touch. I was very pleased with this dish, and would definitely make it again.

Oh my, this was divine! Instead of pork I used 1 pound of skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 inch cubes, not strips. It took about 8 minutes or so until the chicken was brown to my liking, but the rest of the dish went so fast, it was over before I had practically started! My only change (besides the chicken) was to add some hot pepper flakes, giving this a slight Sechuan flavor. This was so quick to make, it's easy to just whip it up if you have all the ingredients! Thanks for a great recipe, Debbie!

This is definitely woth fixing again....and again. I did like Mirj and used some red pepper flakes, also used a red bell pepper (which I had) instead of the green one (which I didn't have). We've resolved to cut down on the amount of meat in our meals and this was a delicious way to do that. We had our favorite brown rice with this.

If you change the recipe, you can't say the one posted was "delicious" because it's not the same recipe. Just sayin'.
