NOTES : My variations: I was able to eliminate the cooking spray altogether in my non-stick skillet. I used pineapple juice instead of orange juice, sugar instead of honey, chili flakes instead of chili paste, and kuzu root instead of cornstarch. It came out wonderfully. This one definitely goes into my permanent file. 🙂

I’ve made this a couple times and it is so good, I’m pretty addicted. I love it too because my whole family eats it. But I often cheat because the critical component of this recipe for me is the awesome SAUCE. When we are busy, I heat bagged frozen stir-fry veggies, throw in cooked adzuki beans, and throw this sauce on top, to make the yummiest quick stir-fry. My often-picky 5-year-old always asks for seconds.
