    Very tasty. I recommend updating the directions though - when it said to 'add remaining ingredients' I added all including the sweet/sour items. Still turned out well though. I added water chestnuts - yum

    Really yummy! Less sugar than the P.F. Changs version too. My husband and I shared it as an entree (no carbs, so you eat a lot of it!) but it would make a great appetizer.
