    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 :

    This is out of this world delicious!! The only things I did differently was that I used about 3 tablespoons of a regular onion chopped instead of the scallions; simply because I didn't have any scallions. I didn't have any fresh ginger either so I used about a teaspoon of dry ground ginger. Delicious! My husband and I both loved this served over rice and I'll definitely be making it again and again. :c Oh, and I'm trying to cut down on fat so I didn't use the canola oil for frying, I just used a nonstick skillet and there were no problems.

    Easy. Great flavor. We omitted the snow peas and served over white rice.

    I made it with stir fry vegetables instead of snow peas. Still great! I tried to cut down the sugar in the sauce, but it just wasn't as good... so I ended up adding it in afterall.

    The sauce seems a little complex at first, but most components can be measured and thrown in a bowl WAY in advance, making the final push easy as can be. GREAT flavor. I stir fried some bok choy with the chicken instead of using snow peas, just because that's what I had. I also added a bit of orange juice concetrate to the sauce. It turned out fabulous! BTW, Greeneyedem, try again starting with half the cornstarch you used last time. The recipe gives a range, and I started (as I usually do with slightly less than the smallest amount. It's easy to add more, but impossible to remove it once it's mixed in.
