I made it with chicken - in fact, I had the leftovers for breakfast this morning!:chef:
I loved it. I cut the chicken into strips while it was still partially frozen, and tossed it with the corn starch.
For the Stirfry itself, I doubled the sauce amount - it just didn't seem like enough sauce in the recipe, and I'm glad I doubled it, that was the right amount.
