Way too much water. 4-5 c max. Also seasoned with S&P meat, celery, onion along the way.

How much honey

what honey?

easy to follow, easy to make. of course, i changed several things like: added sliced green peppers, diced carrots and used pounded thin pork instead. also, increased the soy sauce, used the juice from the water chestnuts for flavor, increased the honey and used olive oil instead of vegetable. i didn't simmer as long but should have as the meat would have been more tender. your recipe gave me a base to start with.
