It was too sweet. Def. leave out the 2 tablespoons of sugar and add salt. Even though there was soy sauce it was not salty enough.

I tried this recipe to use up some orange juice, and it was delicious! Used a different combination of veggies, but I think that's what stir fries are all about. The sauce was SO good, it is going into my permanent recipe collection. Thanks!Mary in Littlestown, PA
