LEMON STIR-FRY SAUCE
This came from the back of a bag of "Bird's Eye Farm Fresh Mixtures, Asparagus Stir-Fry With Pasta" to which I added boneless chicken breasts. Nevertheless, when I looked on their site, and searched and searched, I could not find the recipe. I decided to post it as much for my future reference as well as your enjoyment. This was nice and light and a great change from the traditional teriyaki taste we have become accustomed to.
