    Very good! Agree that you need to dissolve the cornstarch before it hits the heat. It gets gloppy if you don't!

    Very good. It takes a little time to go through all the steps, but it's not a hard recipe. It's just like a dish you'd get at a good Chinese restaurant, except without the MSG and all the bloating sodium. One tip: Mix the broth, chili paste, etc. first and add the cornstarch at the last second, stirring the mixture well before putting in the skillet. If you let the cornstarch sit in the mix for a few minutes, it will turn into concrete on the bottom.

    For whatever reason my does not look like the picture... and for what ever reason it doesnt seem to turn out right. But the chili paste is really good and does give it a good flavor!

    I make a lot of these stir fry dishes and this is my favorite so far. It's by far the most flavorful. I had broccoli on-had so I used it in the stir fry. I didn't make the snow peas.

    The flavor was pretty good. Loved the sauce over the nutty brown rice. I think I may have over cooked the chicken. All in all was good and will probably make it again, maybe had more ginger, I love ginger...

    Way better than any take out I have had. I didn't have time to get the chicken in the marinade so I took the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, sugar, ginger, garlic, vinegar, chicken broth, cayenne pepper (didn't have chili paste in the house, and cornstarch and combined everything in a bowl. When the chicken was nice and brown, I just poured the mixture over the chicken and it made that wonderful, thick, sticky sauce you get from take out places but a million times better. Saved tons of time and tasted great. I made Ray's No pain lo mein to go with it.

    Delicious recipe! I randomly had some miso broth left over so I used that instead of the chicken broth and it came out wonderfully! Had a great hint of heat from the chili paste as well!

    Will definitely make again, next time with more chicken and more rice! I know this is supposed to be lower-cal, but I love me some leftovers and these amounts didn't leave me any:

    This is a great recipe. I made it a few times when I first read it in the magazine last year, and recently just rediscovered it. I sauteed the snow peas and combined them with the chicken. I also used agave nectar in place of both the honey and the sugar. It's actually even better than the sesame chicken at our local Chinese place!

    I was excited to have most of these ingredients on hand as this recipe was truly great! I did add some extra chili sauce to give it a little more heat and served it with the snow peas, white rice, & a ginger salad.... It certainly satisfied my craving for chinese! I will definitely make this one again. Thank you Ellie :
