Tip

More Flavorful Rice

From Delphi, Indiana, Shirley S. writes, “For extra flavorful rice to serve as a bed for sweet-sour stir-fries or other entrees, I substitute pineapple juice for some of the water to cook the rice.”

Medium-Bodied Red Wine

Enjoy this recipe with a medium-bodied red wine such as Chianti, Sangiovese, Malbec or Zinfandel.

I used a frozen 24 oz. bag of stir-fry Asian style vegetables and followed the directions on the bag for cooking the vegetables. I also used ground ginger so that flavor was not as pronounced. I enjoyed it and would like to try it again with fresh ginger.

Tastey! I didn't have snap peas so I used 1/2 a yellow onion & peas instead.

This is a delicious and easy recipe that my family loves. I usually make way more than the recipe calls for and there are NEVER and leftovers. It's a great alternative to calling ahead for Chinese take-out.

Love this recipe! I've made it many times over. Sometimes I double the recipe and freeze the other half for later. It always comes out great.

This stir-fry is absolutely delicious and one of the best recipes for stir-fry I've tried.I used top sirloin instead of the flank steak a couple time with equally delicious results.
