I tripled the sauce recipe and added 1/2 c water, not enough sauce or flavor otherwise. I used chicken instead of pork. The cayenne sounds hot but it is just nice and zippy. Thoe colors of orange and green are nice.

I thought this recipe was good...but I made a few adjustments. I doubled the soy, sugar, ginger, and cayenne pepper (I didnt use salt..I think there is enough in soy). Also, I used broccoli, julienned carrots, green peppers and snow peas- just what I had. I added water as the pork was cooking when the skillet got dry...this created more of a sauce. Lastly, instead of just using canola to stir fry the veggies, I threw in a little dark sesame oil. I will make this my standard stir fry recipe! Yummy!!
