Not quite Panda, but absolutely excellent! I think they're leaving out some secret ingredient here and I'm going to keep tinkering with it until I get it! Oh and I substituted Mirin for the shaosing wine (all I could find) and the chayotes are zuccini...I already knew that b/c I always ordered the dish in CA, but wanted to put it out there for those that have never had Panda Express. Thanks for sharing this! It's a great find!!!!
