"From our Saturday newspaper The Weekend West. Times are estimated. Please note feel free to add any other vegetables to the dish and if you like a bit of kick add finely sliced chilli to the sauce and or chicken. Recently made this and we added some extra vegetables and put a small Thai chilli (finely sliced) into the sauce and stir fried into the vegetables but we both agree these chillies are hotter than we have grown in the past so will only put in one and divide it between sauce and the stir fry vegetables."

Great recipe! I followed this recipe exactly as written and believe me the hardest part of this recipe is cutting up the vegetables. The flavors are fantastic, subtly sweet from the honey but also savory with a hint of spice from the soy and garlic. All these combined take on a truly traditional Chinese flavor. Served with noodles this made for one quick , easy and really fantastic dinner. DH said was this was "Very filling and tasted great". I think some chili would really work well with this and I am also going to try the sauce with just vegetable's and noodle's. I think I am on a winner with this one ! Better than take away any day! Thanks Pat.
