I love stir fry and I think the name "stir fry" is totally appropriate. While you stir everything together you are guaranteed to get fried! I made a few changes to the recipe. 1) I didn't use corn and substituted it with zucchini and broccoli instead. 2) I used canola oil instead of peanut oil. While in the store I went t buy peanut oil and it was $10.99....uhh no thank you. 3)I didn't know what arrowroot was...well apparently it is a sauce thickener, but I used cornstarch because I read it does the same thing. Also, I didn't make this over rice because I'm trying to stay away from carbs...why would I ever want to do that??? I know I know TRUST me I love carbs, but so do my love handles...so please make this over rice for me and my love handles, thank you! Overall, it turned out Delicious! Enjoy!
