This is a great recipe! The lamb was tender and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. The sauce was flavorful and had a nice balance of sweet and sour. I will definitely be making this again.

Made this last night. It was delicious and so easy to make. I used beef instead of lamb, and it turned out great. The sauce was flavorful and the meat was tender. Will definitely make this again.
