This recipe is from Weight Watcher’s Fabulous and Filling Cookbook. I’m not a fan of mushrooms so I substituted them with peppers. I also added some Soy Sauce for increased flavour. To make a vegetarian version you could add tofu and bulk it up with some baby sweetcorn and mushrooms.
My marinade for stir fries has always been quite runny and I have never been able to achieve the consistency of a proper Japenese/Chinese restaurant sauce. Well it seems the answer is corn-flour, I always thought it was MSG.
The recipe itself is very good and very quick to make. Hope you enjoy.
