My Dh really liked this but he also loves soy sauce. I liked it but thought it needed something else it had a lot more soy sauce flavor than I was expecting. I did have to add more cornstarch to get it to thicken up.

This was a very good stir fry. I added mushrooms to the recipe. I also think the preparation time could have been cut back by using a bag of stir fry vegetables. Nice recipe.

Thanks for a great recipe. I added a red pepper and about 1 c. of celery. I think it would be great w/ cashews in it as well. This is an easy recipe to adjust to taste. We really enjoyed it!!!
