EXCELLENT! Have made various stir-fry recipes and this is definitely a keeper. My husband loved it and asked that I make it regularly. Adding the cayenne gives it a nice little 'bite'...but not overwhelming. I added water chestnuts because I love the extra crunch in my stir-frys and I had a red pepper on hand so I added that also to give it even more color and flavor. Will definitely make this again. The pineapple juice in the sauce really makes this dish especially good.

I make this same stir-fry all the time, only i use minced garlic and no cayenne pepper. I thought I invented it, but then everything been done before; right. :)

This recipe did take a while to chop and marinate and cook everything, but the essential part of this recipe is the sauce. This could be a very doable quick weeknight meal with the help of a frozen asian veggie mix and pre-cooked chopped meat. Then all that would be left to do would be to make the sauce mixture, stir fry the veggies for flavor, and add the meat and pineapple at the end to warm everything up.

A staple when it comes to homemade chinese food.

Delicious! I used chicken instead of pork and added a bell pepper. I will definitely be making this again.

PS: I have a funny feeling i may have forgotten the brown sugar, or only put 1 tbsp in!!!

just a little side note to the review I wrote two weeks ago:

I made it for the second time tonight, and it did not taste good at all! I'm so shocked cuz it was crazy mouth-watering last time. I'm trying to figure out what I did different and the only thing I can think is that I used a different soy sauce this time. Last time I used a normal one--maybe dark. This time I used a mushroom one. Not sure if that was it. Still, I know how good it SHOULD be, so I will definitely try again and figure out what I did wrong this time!

After reading the raving reviews, I had to try this, though I find most stir-fry recipes to be quite boring and always do my own thing. I expected little. Was I ever wrong. This was FABULOUS and it is my go-to now, even though it takes time. Soooo worth it. My husband said we need to make it for company and even my 5-yr old raved about it! And she hates veggies! It was fan-flippin-tastic! REALLY!

Forgot to say ... This takes me at least an hour to prepare. There's too much prep on the chopping and two different sauces. Then the browning time of the pork, then the vegetables, etc. But, like I said before, I double the recipe so it's worth the work to get to enjoy this meal twice!
