Does anyone know a good Sweet and Spicy chicken stir fry recipe?

I've looked through a lot of recipes and I've tried a few but I'm not quite sure if I like them. I'm looking for a certain taste, like the Sweet and Spicy Chicken Stri Fry that they serve at Stir Crazy Cafe. Anyone know a recipe with a similar taste?Does anyone know a good Sweet and Spicy chicken stir fry recipe?
There are a ton of recipes for what you're asking for and it's not our tongue that we're trying to please, so I won't post a recipe, but what I will do is help you with the key ingredients to produce what you're looking for. I'm sure you'll agree that the base of the stir fry's are the same, the main combination of whole food products, what you need to tweak to your taste is three ingredients, soy, sugar and spicy hoisin sauce. You can experiment with a small amount of each until you achieve satisfaction. Start with 1/2 tsp each soy and sugar combined with 1 tsp hoisin then adjust from there, mix it up and taste it, trust your tongue. When you get to where it's just right then you have the ratio you need for a full prepared meal without guessing.Does anyone know a good Sweet and Spicy chicken stir fry recipe?
