    A great recipe for a yummy dinner. However, I prefer fresh ingredients and COOKING instead of just stirring everything in a bowl... I heated a tblsp of oil, fried the chicken, and then added the vegetables - they do need a quick stir-fry. The peanuts added at the end make it special - and still not too weird for picky guest dinners. As I don't like hot chilly and could not buy sweet chilly sauce I used some sweet Hungarian ground pepper, it worked perfectly.
