(note) The last time I made this, I doubled the sauce amount. I cooked the vegetables and removed them to a bowl; heated the meat in the wok and removed it to the bowl. I put only 1/4 cup of water in the doubled sauce. Placed the sauce in the wok and after it started to thicken, I added chicken broth until the sauce was the right consistency. Then add the vegetables and meat. Toss gently to coat with sauce. |
