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!

One of my new all time favorite stir fry recipes!! I LOVE the flavor. I usually double this recipe and freeze the second portion. It does great in the freezer.

Really good! Husband and daughter loved it. I didn't have any carrots so I substituted a drained can of baby corn.

This recipe was easy and delicious! If I could rate it more than 5 stars, I would. I'm hiding leftovers so I can have it for lunch tomorrow!

I made this for lunch for my kids and I because my husband could take or leave dishes like this but as for me I could eat this stuff all the time! I also added water chestnuts, baby corn, and mushrooms.
