I grew up eating this yummy stir fry and have not made it in about a
decade. I pulled up the recipe and decided to go for it. Wow it was so
good! My daughter even liked it. The boys not so much, but I guess
that's why I made rice too. My daughters comment was "wow I have had so
much yummy food today". I asked her what else she had today and she said
it was all my cooking. Now that is positive reinforcement!! News
flash!!! Hubby just came home and ate, he said this is a do again!
Hooray for good recipes!
