Looks good, but I have just one question. What is hoisin sauce? I suppose I could google it, but you might be able to give me more detail. :-)
Hi Kim,
I'd never used hoisin sauce before this recipe. You can find it in the international foods aisle of your supermarket. The jar said it's used in Asian foods. It smelled a little like steak sauce, and looked about the same, only thicker. I didn't taste it alone.
That sounds YUUUMMMMY!
Hoisin sauce is the good stuff. Awesome.
Yum!!! I love anything Asianish (can I just make up that word, please??) This looks easy and delicious!! I am confident my family will love it!!
Thank you for sharing!

I will definitely be trying this recipe, Tracy. My husband and I love Asian food, and the photo you took looks wonderful!
This is a winner in my house! I made a few modifications, as I usually do to suit what I had on hand. I had a package of frozen stir-fried vegetables in the freezer so I used that in place of the veggies you listed. I also had frozen about 5 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs that I had grilled in my freezer, so I used about 4 of those and added that in with the veggies to thaw and warm up. This is so yummy. Thanks for sharing it.
