 4 Servings. (344 calories per serving,19 gr fat) (note) The last time I made
this, I doubled the sauce amount. I cooked the vegetables and removed them to a
bowl; heated the meat in the wok and removed it to the bowl. I put only 1/4 cup
of water in the doubled sauce. Placed the sauce in the wok and after it started
to thicken, I added chicken broth until the sauce was the right consistency. Then
add the vegetables and meat. Toss gently to coat with sauce.
