This is a delicious stir fry, but beware, it makes tons! It says 4 servings, but it's more like 12. I made for a hungry dinner party of 9 and had plenty of leftovers. Also, there's just not enough sauce for all those veggies -- I had to double it. These are the reasons for 4 stars instead of 5. It's a terrific mix of veggies - the pineapple is a wonderful addition. It goes together quickly and looks beautiful. I'll cut the veggies/pineapple in half and use the full recipe of sauce in the future. Thanks for the great recipe! It was worth the trip to the Asian market for the soy paste, and I'm sure I'll use it enough to use up the bottle. :-)
