I really enjoy stir frys and this one is really good with the addition of the lemon juice. I usually put this on brown rice. Easy, tasty and healthy!

I make this w/out the garlic and mushrooms, and adding chili powder. I use the parsley, but you can sub cilantro. I serve this w/tortillas or seasoned rice for the guys; for me, it's very low carb and very filling w/out the starch. Thanks for posting.

Very good recipe. I would make this again. It took me a while for prep though because I had to cut up everything. So I wouldn't agree with only 7 min prep unless everything was already cut up.

I am trying to eat healthier these days and with recipes like this it won't be hard to do. I added more mushrooms because I love them and I only used red and green peppers, but it was delicious nonetheless. I served it with brown rice. I loved the lemon flavor. It can't get much better than tasty and healthy in my book! Thanks, Annacia.
