Pork and Broccoli Stir-Fry
"All the ingredients can be adjusted to suit taste. If you like spicy then add in about 1 teaspoon or more dried red pepper flakes. Can use either red or green bell pepper or use both, and 1 teaspoon fresh minced ginger can be replaced with the dry ginger."

The flavor was great even though I used chicken instead of pork. I also used orange bell peppers and water chestnuts as well as ramen noodles instead of the rice. In addition I added Vadalia onions instead of the green as everything I used, I already had on hand. Its a very versatile recipe. I also doubled the liquid and seasoning. -
