Here are my suggestions: double the sauce and add 1-2 cans pineapple, 4 carrots and a red or green pepper. (green pepper can add a lot of its own flavor so don't overdo it, half a pepper will do)

This was average. Nothing more than a low-grade barbecue sauce. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and put them in frozen. Definitely need to add something to this to make this more savory. My husband liked it though.

I made this tonight. Doubled the sauce. I also added a 20 oz can of pineapple chunks undrained. Only put in 2 tsp of salt (since doubled the recipe). I added some baby carrots, brocolli, red and yellow bell pepper strips and fresh mushrooms. Cooked everything for 4 hrs on high and it was done by dinner time. Quick and delicious! My toddler ate it up. I even had seconds. Thanks for a new addition to our dinner line up!

I added strips of raw cabbage - I'm sure that bagged coleslaw mix would work just as well. As well, when browning the pork, I put in about 3 tbsp. of balsamic vinegar. It gave it a little sweetness and my whole family loved it.

This is a great recipe that can be made with things that you generally keep on hand in your pantry. I read most of the reviews, and made the following changes: doubled the sauce, added pineapple and carrots, and eliminated the mushrooms. The only change I would make is to use a little less brown sugar, as I thought the sauce was a little on the sweet side, but otherwise, a nice, easy recipe that's ready for you when you get home!

FIrst of all, we had had prok the night before and so I felt that we should have chicken or something else. So, I used this recipe to the 'T' except used sliced chicken breasts. When we sat down to dinner, my husband ---who does not like sweet and sour things--at all---said that this is definitely a 'keeper'!!

I think I brutalized the recipe but it appeared to still have turned out delicious. I didn't realize I had run out of tomato sauce, so I substituted with 2 oz tomato paste + 6 oz water + silent prayer. I also added broccoli, changed the onion bit to half an onion instead and added a handful or so of a frozen onion + green peppers + red peppers combination I had in the freezer. Everything played well together and I loved the results. I had been afraid that there might be a vinegary taste but it wasn't detectable at all. I'm almost afraid to try it with tomato sauce now! Cantonese? No. Yummy? Yes.
