As a child I traveled a lot through Asia and lived there for several years as well. Our whole family grew to love Asian style food and my mom got very good at cooking it too. I made this recipe a few weeks ago using an Asian sauce recipe that my mom had given me and built on it from there. This recipe came out so good. I did tweak the recipe here a bit so it made more sauce than I ended up with.
If you like this style of food, give this a try. I think you will like it!

I love stir frys because the y are so quick. Once you have prepped everything it only takes a few minutes to cook. I imagine that you cut all the vegetables into approximately the same size pieces.
That stir fry looks great! A lot of peppers in it too!
That is so interesting that you lived in Asia for several years I bet that was interesting. I love love love asian food and this recipe looks like one I have got to try thanks for sharing this one.
Ding, what if I don’t like bean sprouts…can I just omit those or do you have an alternative to the bean sprouts?
Just omit them and add what you do love. This is a very forgiving recipe!
