  1. Very tasty! Made according to recipe with a few exceptions...I only used 1 tablespoon oyster sauce and 2 of the soy and glad I did, it was just on the verge of being too fishy for me. I also used only 2 chicken breasts and added 4 carrots, thinly sliced and a can of water chestnuts to the veggies. Hubby said the chicken was cooked perfectly, good technique to remember! And the taste over all was very good. We both were a bit disappointed that we couldn’t taste the ginger and garlic more, next time I’ll add some raw at the end.
     
  2. This was such a lovely and easy dish to cook family absolutely loved it
     
  3. I really enjoyed this dish. It was very easy to prepare too. I used green pepper as that is all that I had. I also added a entire bag of bean sprouts. <br/>I felt like I was out eating in a Asian Restaurant.<br/><br/>Thanks for sharing.
     
  4. This was delicious! Had to modify a bit because I didn't have everything on hand but was close enough. Used ground ginger instead of fresh. Would have liked it to be a little more moist. Otherwise terrific!
     
  5. YOU ROCK!!! We loved this! I didn't have oyster sauce so skipped that. I sprinkled some crushed red pepper flakes on the chicken before I dusted with the cornstarch, and I added some toasted sesame seeds and a few drops of sesame oil to the broth mixture. I also completely skipped the veg oil, and used a couple tbls. of olive oil to brown the chicken in. Thanx for your wonderful recipes! Just Awesome!!

  1. Switched quantities of oyster and soy sauces, used 1 tablespoon oyster and 2 of light soy sauce. Only used 2 chicken breasts and added 4 carrots, thinly sliced and a can of water chestnuts to the veggies.
     
  2. We enjoyed this nice meal for dinner tonight. I did add the dried red pepper flakes when I was stir frying the chicken pieces. I will probably add a little more next time. I also used the 3 teaspoons fresh ginger and will cut down to 2. I used a carrot instead of the red pepper and we really liked that and I will probable double in the future. Thanks for another great recipe Kitten!
