Chicken And/Or Tofu Stir-Fry image

I received this recipe from a friend, but haven't had the chance to make it yet. The best stir-fries are made with the freshest vegetables, which makes this a great choice as a "market-day" meal.

This stir-fry was a disappointment. The chicken was tough and the vegetables were overcooked.

I found this stir-fry to be a bit bland. I think it would have been better with more spices.

The sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but other than that, this stir-fry was delicious.
