Great recipe! I used chicken instead of the pork. No green onions, didn't have any... I also added almost double the red pepper flakes because we like it HOT around here. The result was a spicy-sweet dish that I will definitely make again. Thanks!

This was a great receipe. Loved the flavor and it looked wonderful. However the amount of cayenne pepper was way too much. Very spicy. I think a 1/4 tsp. would be better. A little cayenne goes a long way.You can adapt this to any kind of vegetable. I used boneless pork ribs cut up in bite size pieces. It is the sauce that makes this such a great meal.

Wonderful flavor. I added broccoli and sliced mushrooms. Also used Chinese chili sauce instead of cayenne. Served over brown rice

We liked this a lot. I tried to make it just like the recipe but got halfway through and realized I didn't have everything, so made a few substitutions. I didn't have water chestnuts so I added regular onion and a stalk of celery. I added salt and pepper to the pork since the recipe doesn't have salt. I didn't have cloves of garlic, so I added powdered garlic. (I just sprinkled it all over the pork. I didn't notice garlic flavor - I don't recommend this). Finally, I didn't even have cayenne so I added a tsp of ground chili paste. I didn't taste the spice, it wasn't enough. Despite my trying to make this fail, it was still great! The "sauce" is more a sticky coating of hoisin on everything. Hoisin is sweet, so if you don't like sweet, don't make this! If you love Hoisin, this is PERFECT!

Very very spicy and I only used 1/2 cayenne pepper. I love hoisin but I think there is just too much of it in this recipe. I added snap peas since they were in season. I will not make this recipe again.

Fantastic!! Whole family loved this; will definitely be making it regularly. The only changes I made were to add a small amount of chicken broth to loosen the sauce, and I subbed 1 tsp of chilli pepper paste for the cayenne pepper. My family likes the baby corn so I added a can of that as well. It was fine without any changes and worthy of the whole 5 stars as is. Will try it with chicken breast next time.
