I did what others suggested and added pepper flakes to balalnce out the sweetness. I used fresh pineapple and garlic. To make the sauce I used 3/4 cup of chicken stock with a tbsp of brown sugar to replace the pineapple juice.I didn't need to change the cornstarch amounts. I also added sliced red and green bell peppers. I will definitely make this again. I know I changed several things but the recipe is a great starter recipe and allows tweeking to taste. Thanks!!

I made this recipe last minute and loved how easy it was to make. The flavor was basic and did not wow me or my husband but my 7 year old daughter liked it and ate the whole thing.

Meh. The beef had little flavor and the mandarin oranges somehow disappeared. Won't make it again.

Great recipe. Didn't have cashews so I used peanuts. Forgot to drain the grease from the beef, but it still turned out great. I made it with noodles, but I would recommend eating over rice instead of noodles. Very easy to make, as I am not always the greatest at cooking (as you see I forgot to drain) :)

This was a pretty good recipe, although I made some changes and would make a couple more in the future. I used fresh pineapple, instead of canned and fresh garlic minced finely, instead of garlic powder. I also added a vidallia onion, which I sauteed until clear with three cloves of finely minced garlic; once the aromatics were softened I added ground bison, because I didn't have ground beef. I added a dash of red pepper flakes to add some spiciness to the sweetness of the canned oranges and pineapple and I used unsalted cashews. Because I didn't have as much liquid as I would have had I used canned pineapple I didn't drain the meat and only added enough cornstarch to thicken it to the desired consistency. In the future I would use a nice cut of beef, sliced finely, to make more of a stir fry. I think the texture of the meal would be much better.

I had all these ingredients on hand, and it was quick to make. We found it interesting and good! We're not coconut fans so left that out.

5 stars due to the EASE of preparation and utilization of common ingredients. I realized too late I did not have egg noodles so I used basmati rice and loved that. Also added red pepper for a little heat and I skipped the coconut. My husband went back for seconds. I will make again!

WOW! I had a can of pineapple and some ground beef and used the "ingredient search" and found this recipe. After getting over my initial skepticism, I tried this and -- WOW! Mixing the familiar beef and noodle taste with the tangy sweetness of pineapple and mandarin orange is a delight. The spices in the sauce made the beef sweet and summery in a delightful way! The nuts added texture, and the coconut was the crowning glory. I am SO glad I tried this, my boyfriend and I were ecstatic. Thank you!!

I almost didn't make this because it sounded kind of weird. I'm glad I went ahead anyways - it was good! My only modification was that I added some crushed red & cayenne pepper because I like that sweet/hot mix. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I'm sure I will make it again.
