Stir Fry at it's finest!

This recipe is adapted from Cooking Light. The sauce is what it's all about! Adaptations from the original: I used Gluten-free tamari instead of soy sauce, skipped the hoisin sauce, used toasted instead of dark sesame oil and added the dry sherry directly to the sauce. I also made a double batch of sauce, 1 for the vegetables and one for chicken which I made separately for my family. Finally I skipped the tofu this time and added extra veggies & cauliflower.
