Easy and tasty, if not a little on the bland side. I did not include broccoli but used swede (rutabaga) instead. I also used fresh peaches; I added a bit of water and sugar to replace the juice that would have come from the canned peaches.

Not a bad recipe. I was looking for a stir-fry to use up leftover pork roast. After reading the other reviews, I added a zucchini. I did follow the marinade as given. Since the roast was already cooked, I nibbled on a few pieces of pork as I was chopping the veggies. The taste was pleasing and I figured the finished product would be just as good. However, when I sat down to eat, I felt the lemon juice was quite over-powering. I was still tasting the lemon 4 hours later. I'd try this again, but I'll cut the lemon juice down to maybe just an 1/8 cup. I'll probably play with other veggies as well, maybe substituting something for the broccoli. I wonder if asparagus would hold up?

We really liked this. My brain is still not quite grasping the broccoli with the peaches, so maybe there is another vegetable that would go more smoothly (asparagus?), but the flavor of this was great - and it wasn't as jarring as you might suspect. I used frozen peaches and half a bottle of peach nectar because I prefer the frozen to canned - I also think the peach nectar might have given this a more peachy flavor than the syrup from canned peaches would have. I used a bag of stir-fry vegetables with broccoli, carrots, and snow peas, which made this recipe even easier. My only suggestion would be to add the flour in the frying process rather than waiting until the end so you don't get a raw flour taste to the sauce. I also added red pepper flakes for some heat. Nice! Thanks for the recipe!

Personally I don't like broccoli, and I didn't have lemon juice when I made it, so I substituted some things. I went with orange and yellow peppers, along with spring onions instead of any other. I also used orange juice instead of lemon juice. I actually thought this was tastier than steak! Normally I would not say this. Thanks for the recipe!

I guess what I made is barely this recipe but I used the same merinade anad everything. Okay I did this same recipe but with Chicken and Mushrooms instead of pork. Also I used zuccini, carrots, and baby corn instead of the broccoli.

while this is a great recipe for those who love a little sweetnes to their main dishes, it was not a hit with my family. the peaches add too much sweetness to a dish that is otherwise very good!

My picky 17-year old ate this up, including the vegetables, which is highly unusual. I only had an hour to marinate, so I did it at room temp. I used fresh ginger and a couple of fresh peaches (with a 1/2 c of water for liquid) that needed to be used up. I also added a tablespoon of Hoisin sauce. I served this over rice cooked in the rice cooker with chicken broth and a teaspoon of Chinese 5-spice powder.
