Excellent, but a tad too sweet for me. I still gobbled down the whole plate though! Next time I'll try tweaking the sugar and perhaps dilute the OJ a little.

5 star all the way - I used fresh chopped ginger (we love ginger) only used a light spray of "No Oil" Great easy recipe Thanks for a lovely Sunday dinner

This was so easy and made quite a bit. We used two green bell peppers, a bag of frozen broccoli and a can of baby corn. The only change i'll make next time is to use Sunny Delight instead of regular orange juice. I think that'll give it the sweetness I was looking for. The whole family had this on top of rice. Thanks.

Yum! Quick, easy and healthy. I added an extra capsicum/pepper, found an orange one in the supermarket and thought it would add extra colour to the dish, otherwise kept to the recipe. The sauce thicken up perfectly and the flavour was really nice. Thank you Whatcha Cookin', Mom?
