This was great tasting. I used Apple juice in place of Orange juice. Next time I will vary the veggies. Another winner from KITTENCAL.

This is one of the best stir fries I've ever had. I doubled the recipe (thankfully, had no leftovers), and came up a little short on the OJ so I ended up using some of the marinade for the sauce (made sure to boil it before adding the corn starch to kill bacteria). My husband and I both agreed this is also the perfect recipe for anyone who likes fajitas that have a little bit of sauce, like we do. Thanks again, Kitten!

Very good stirfry Kittencal. I used two strip Loins that were getting elderly and tossed in a bunch of differant vegetables, sugar snap peas, asparagus, carrots, red peppers...basically emptied the fridge. I made the full recipe and the two of us ate 3/4's of it. I'm hoarding the leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

This was the first thing we made with our new wok - it was so good we had it 2 nights running! We did add other vegetables (mushrooms and carrots) but we followed the marinade instructions exactly. Great recipe!

Hey K.C.! Thanks for a great recipe! I loved it...way better than take out. I didn't think it salty and actually added some salt. Don't care for green pepper, so used red and the color addition was beautiful! It was actually my first "real" stirfry and one lesson for us beginner cooks was "how not to burn yourself on oil 101". The oil needs to be really hot...don't "drop" in the vegetables...big splatter problems! Gently "place" the veggies in the hot oil...Thanks Kitz for a terrific recipe!!
