Next time I plan to add celery and water chestnuts for a nice crunch. No need to cook chicken first and then remove. I just did it all together in one pan. Saved time and dishes!

this is tasty and quick, slightly sweet, good stir fry for kids.

We really enjoyed it, but I wonder if fresh ginger would make it even tastier. I also like the suggestion of garlic!

I made this tonight and was very disappointed because it had no flavor. Is there an ingredient missing from the list?

This was very good. I added minced garlic and red bell pepper and a bit more soy sauce to the recipe. I also used 1 full cup of broth. Very easy and tasty!
