    I made this but added sliced carrot, pea pods, and bamboo shoots to it. I also changed the apple to pink lady apples because they are a little crisper. It was very good. - 12/18/08

    Excellent! I used snow peas instead of yellow peppers and served it over brown rice. It was very colorful and flavorful. A winner in my family. - 6/22/09

    We loved it. I took the advice of another commenter here and added a extra ginger. It turned out perfectly. This is one of the best recipes I've ever made, healthy or otherwise. Thank you! - 1/16/09

    For those who used powdered ginger instead of fresh -- fresh ginger tastes MUCH different than powdered ginger. Also, I am going to marinate the meat with minced or sliced fresh ginger, scallions, soy sauce, fresh cracked black pepper, and sesame oil before stir frying for added flavor. - 8/7/09

    I really think I could eat this once a week. The veggies are filling, with beautiful color, and the sauce has just the perfect bite to it.

    I used powdered ginger instead of fresh, orange marmalade instead of peach, and I might throw in some broccoli tonight! - 6/29/09

    This was really good! But next time I will serve it over brown rice or something, a little lacking just by itself. - 12/18/08

    Yummy! We enjoyed this! I only used 1 pepper (I'm allergic to them but my husband & daughter like them) and added sliced carrots. Next time I would add a little more ginger. I'd also like to try it with chicken. Will definitely make this again!!! - 7/3/08

    For those who have a problem with mincing ginger (or garlic, for that matter) just use a hand held cheese grater. You don' t even have to peel the ginger. Just wash it. For me, I would slice the peppers similar to the pork, in keeping with Chinese visual perfection. - 9/14/09
