Reviews 01/9/2007 - Shannon My husband and I made this the other night and we both agree that it is excellent. We added pineapple tidbits because we both like pineapple in our stir-fry. Very tasty. It reheated well the next day for lunch too! 09/24/2006 - Carol Amazing. This is great for a dinner party attractive and very delicious. Is a staple for us. I had my son and 5 of his roomates over (one girl from Taiwan) everyone loved it. 09/9/2006 - Heather This page in my cookbook is well worn. We love this recipe and it's a great one to take to people feeling under the weather. 02/7/2006 - Barbara sweet and spicy chicken instructions mention cooking the chicken with onion, but I don't see any onion on the list of ingredients! 10/12/2005 - Trish My whole family loves this recipe. Great way for the kids to eat their vegetables. Instead of rice I stir in some cooked fettuccini noodles. We love it! 06/5/2005 - Lori Awesome !!! This has become the only stir fry we ever make, even my 17 year old has mastered it. I do usually add more vegetables and increase the amount of sauce. I have used the sauce recipe with cubed pork tenderloin (cooked the same as the chicken) and also with meatballs, it is great. 05/2/2005 - Trish I made this dish the other night. it was fantastic. So tasty. I also added a few more veggies and a 14 oz. can of mandarin oranges. It was delicious. I served it over rice. Lots of sauce too. Try it, it's great. I love these cookbooks they are awesome. 04/16/2005 - Shauna I've had this recipe for years, but only recently tried it. Why did I wait so long?!? It's fantastic!
