I was looking for a stir fry recipe in which I had most ingredients on hand - this fit the bill and looked so good from your picture and the ingredients!! I made it tonight for my husband and I and doubled the recipe (he's a big eater!!)... but tripled the broccoli as I really enjoy it in stir frys. I didn't use low sodium ingredients (broth, soy sauce, etc) as I had the 'regulars' on hand ... so I ommited the salt callled for in the ingredients. Next time (and there will definitely BE a next time!!!) I may even triple the sauce... we enjoyed it very much and would like a little more to pour over the rice we used. 10 thumbs up, can't wait to have it again! Thanks for posting!! (I posted a few pics, too!)
