I also used chicken and added a little bell pepper that I had left in the fridge. The only reason I gave this recipe four stars is that I thought the soy sauce flavor was a little overpowering. Next time I plan on using the low-sodium soy sauce too. Overall, we thought it was very good.

This stir fry has amazing flavor. The only change I would suggest is to use a low sodium soy sauce.

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.
