  1. We really enjoyed this dish! Like Roosie, I had never cooked with five spice powder before (and I was going to leave it out), but thanks to her suggestion I left it in, and I am glad I did. I doubled the recipe and minced 12 cloves of garlic in my mini food processor. I used both the brown onion, and I sprinkled chopped green onions on top when it was done. I didn't find it too salty; it was perfect. I also liked how the sauce glazed up pretty quickly. I cooked it a little longer to try to cook the garlic a bit. I served it with white rice and roasted sesame broccoli. Thank you Sue L!
     
  2. This is really tasty! My 'glaze' ended up being more of a sauce, because I added a bunch of veggies (peppers, broccoli, and peas). So I used cornstarch to make it a thicker sauce. Overall, a really easy to make dish that's tasty!
     
  3. This had great flavor and I'll make it again. Loved that it was so fast and easy and made with (mostly) things I had on hand. I'm not a fan of five spice powder so I didn't have any. (I added some fresh ground pepper and cinnamon instead.) But the reason I didn't give it five stars is that it was too salty for us. Still delicious though. Thanks.
     
  4. Made this tonight, it was okay but not great. Didn't have a distinct honey garlic taste. I think some of the ingredients interfered with the honey garlic flavor. Likely won't make again.
     
  5. This was really good! I didn't have any 5-spice powder, which makes me sad now cause I think it would of really complemented the flavors of this dish. I did make a few changes; such as doubling the soy, cutting the fish sauce in half, and adding a little chicken broth to dilute it just a bit. I also added about 1 3/4 tsp brown sugar and subbed the fresh garlic for 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Served it with hot spaghetti noodles that I stir fried with the chicken and sauce at the end. Again, this was AMAZING! Definitely going to be making this again in the future, and have some of the sauce on hand. Oh, I also forgot the onion, didn't have any on hand.

  3. so heres what id suggest on top of this great recipe. -use green onions instead of normal onions -2 red thai chillies - add some veg (i added red pepper and mushrooms -1 1/2 TBSP fish sauce, not 2. -otherwise fantastic!!!
     
  4. This went above and beyond my expectations! These are the things I changed a tad (to match what was in my cupboard), I used olive oil instead of vegetable oil. I thought I had fish sauce, and when at the last minute I discovered I did not, I did a quick substitution of Worcestire (SP?) sauce. I used Orange flavoured honey because it sounded like it would be good. Also, I made my own homemade 5-spice powder since I didn't have any on hand, which by the way, absolutely makes the dish. The flavour comes out so unique and delicious, we will be making this over and over again. I served it over white rice.
     
  5. We thought this was great! Based on some of the other reviews and our likes, I changed just a bit: I used olive oil and green onions instead of vegetable oil and an onion. Also added a splash of rice wine vinegar when adding the sauces/spices. I then followed the recipe by using minced garlic, powdered ginger, 1 tbsp fish sauce, and low sodium soy sauce. We then put over fresh, cooked broccoli. I thought the taste was wonderful! We didn't find it to be too salty at all, so I guess using low-sodium soy sauce and 1/2 of the fish sauce must have done the trick. Thanks for a tasty recipe!
