This is a superb recipe. I didn't use any vinegar (didn't have any in my cupboard), and added grater ginger, brocolli, red pepper, and thickley sliced mushrooms, and WOW! Looked great and was delicious. Definately a favourite.

This recipe is easy and delicious!! We made a few changes: used thin chicken breasts (or you can pound them flat), add grated ginger, less soy sauce, substitute honey for the suger and chili oil for the cayenne pepper. We ate it with veggie fried rice (made in the same wok for easy cleanup). Yum!

Excellent recipe... will certainly make it one of my favourites!

I love this recipe, it's easy and delicious and uses ingredients I usually have on hand. I recommend adding garlic at the END of the browning of the chicken, so garlic won't burn. If you use regular Soy Sauce (instead of Low Salt), add less - 1/4 cup is plenty.

I used chili paste instead of cayenne. I also thought that this was a little too soy saucy.
