One of the BEST stirfry recipies ever! My mother moved in with us over a year ago and since there we have cooked new recipies together almost every night since we're both average cooks. Im pretty experimental, but I had always made my stirfry with a standard bottled sauce, so when my moter suggested this recipie to try I was skeptical, almost angry to waste all of my ingredients. And when I saw her using ketchup to make the sauce I can't say I didn't look at her like she was crazy a couple of times. But boy am I glad she took the risk!!! This is my new favorite stirfry recipie. I make it atleast monthly. The sauce has such great flavor, pretty similar to actual sweet and sour sauce and I love the addition of the pineapple. Goes great with chicken also and any mix of stirfry veggies!
