This recipe looks great, but I cannot have soy and no heat either. Suggestions for modification?

Delicious, very tasty but did not overpower the shrimp/prawns, loved all the vegetables as well. I am a fan of chilli so found that simply made it - great recipe and I will be making it again very soon

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!! I used 1 1/2 lb. med. shrimp, 1 bag of frozen stir-fry veggies, and added some extra broccoli, water chestnuts, and onion. I doubled the sauce because I had more veggies and shrimp than called for and skipped the heat. Took leftovers to work today, and the girls at work were drooling over the smell...but, I couldn't spare to offer them any/LOL (just too good to let go of). Definitely restaurant-quality, and perfect for a Asian-themed dinner party. This dish turned out so beautiful that I actually took a picture of the finished dish!! THANKS SO MUCH!!!~Manda

This was a hit! I used fresh string beans and zuchini, added some crushed red pepper (couldn't find the Thai chilies), served with white rice. Thanks for another great recipe Sue :-)

Fantastic! I had to use chipotle instead of thai peppers. Delicious!

This was a tasty way for us to load up on our veggies. We used oyster mushrooms, red bell pepper, onion, baby corn, bean sprouts and water chestnuts. I used sake instead of the sherry and substituted green hot peppers for thai chiles because I couldn't find any at the store. I used more veggies than the recipe called for, so I doubled the sauce. I thought it might have wanted a little more zip, so I might add a bit more rice wine vinegar as another reviewer suggested. I served this over steamed Jasmine rice. Thanks for this healthy recipe. Made for ZWT4.

Delicious! My family loved this flavorful, quick and easy stir-fry. For the vegetables, I used snow peas, mushrooms, red bell pepper, celery, onion, broccoli, and carrots. I used the sake instead of the sherry and peanut oil instead of the vegetable oil. I would love to have added the Thai chiles but my store was out of them. I doubled the recipe and served it over steamed Jasmine rice. Everyone gave this 2-thumbs up! Thank you for sharing this fantastic recipe...it is definitely a keeper! *Made for ZWT4*

This was quick and simple to make, but I thought it needed larger quantities of all the sauce ingredients because it was lacking a bit in flavour, especially for the amount of vegetables. I used a lot more soy sauce and vinegar than called for and I used chili sauce instead of chili paste since we love lots of spice. Still really nice!

Very good, but I had to make a few little changes in the end to make it really suit my tastes: I found adding an extra tbsp rice vinegar gave it the perfect tanginess, and I felt like it was begging for a little sweetness, so I added 1 tsp honey and it was just enough for me. I used 1/2 tsp cayenne instead of the chili paste and chiles and it turned out to be a tad too hot for me, but I know I'm the only one to blame for this! Served it over buckwheat noodles, with a few extra drops of sesame oil and sprinkled with sesame seeds. I think this recipe would also work well with diced tofu or chicken (cooked first and then set aside). Thanks for posting!
