Left out the honey and the peanuts and doubled the chili oil. Simmered the meat in the marinade until it was no longer bloody, then added the veggies and simmered for another 20 minutes, stirring every 3-5 minutes. A bit more time consuming, though it took about the same time for our rice cooker to knock out the rice. Great meal! Hearty, spicy, and left the six adults in my house sated -- which is a rarity.

I knew it would be delicious but it ended up being even more delicious than I thought! I too did not add the peanuts and it turned out great. I honestly think it may be one of the best stir-fry recipes I have ever tasted! The honey gave it a nice sweet taste and the ginger gave it a nice zing. You will LOVE it!

It was great! My whole family enjoyed and it was super easy, however, I did not add the honey roasted peanuts just because I don't like them. Tasted amazing!!
