    GOOD SAUCE! although I changed it slightly to accomadate what I had in the house. I didn't have red pepper flakes, so I used cayenne, about 1/4 tsp. ( I have toddlers eating with us Added a TBSP of teryaki sauce and 1 TBSP of rice wine vinegar. I also didn't add the ginger, since mine had mold on it. :( I used fresh broccoli and a frozen mix of stir fry veggies. Served on top of rice. With egg rolls on the side. VERY YUMMY!! (Also marinated my chicken with soy sauce, teryaki and salt and pepper for about 1 hour. Toddlers, Hubby and I all finished our plates! I will definately make again.

    I'm surprised that so many people have given this recipe a bad review. I just made it tonight for my husband and I and our 2 guests and everyone loved it! I didn't have bok choy or baby corn, but I had everything else on hand and even added about 2 tbsp of brown sugar while it was simmering. One of the better stir fry's I've had and I will definitely make it again! :

    I cook often and make better-than-average dishes. I wish I would have had a bit more time to fully review the technique on making this dish. By the time your veggies had a bit of time to cook - the chicken has now become overly cooked. The 1 tablespoon of cornstarch is not sufficient to make the sauce thick enough for it to stick to its contents. The flavor is also very bland. After arguing with my husband on how to salvage this dish at 9pm at night, after the baby fell asleep - it became clear this recipe will not be used again. I use foodnetwork's recipes very often and really disappointed in this one. I guess that's life.
