YUM! This was a wonderful find, I was looking for a quick chicken dish and I found this one while doing a search. The dish was so quick to make and the flavour was truly wonderful. I used chicken thighs because it was all I had at home and also had to substitute the plum sauce to cranberry sauce. I used the water to dilute the cornstarch/corn flour because of past experiences the corn flour would of had been lumpy if I added directly to hot dish. I served it on steam rice. Thank you Lilolme for a great dish. -
Really good! Nice and fast, too. It was very tasty just as directed; we also added coarsely cut pieces of onion and green pepper as a variation.
