  • “I enjoyed this stir-fry. It was light and refeshing. Loved the crunch of the snow peas.Marinating the chicken with the sherry certainly added a nice flavour to the dish. We will use the recipe again.Thanks Dorothy :-)”

  • “Great recipe!Even hubby commented on how good it was….as he scarfed it down!I did tweak it a little.I doubled the sauce and I added a little bit of honey.I didn’t have low sodium soy sauce, so the honey took the ‘edge’ off the saltiness.One thing hubby suggested for next time is to replace the 1/2 cup water with chicken stock instead.I’ll be making this again for sure!”

  • “Excellent stir fry recipe. If you get everything ready ahed of time it tkes minutes to make. I thought I had sherry in the house – last minute no sherry -I used equal amounts of BrandyExcellent.. Use the full amounts of the onions, garlic & ginger – they are so tasty on your rice.Thanks Derf for a very enjoyable meal.Love your recipes.”

  • “I made this yesterday. If I were giving stars, I’d say 2, but my husband, who is less particular, seemed to like it alright, maybe 4 stars. I’m not scoring, however, because I used 2 tablespoons regular, not low-sodium soy sauce, and this may have changed the flavor. I thought there was way too much soy sauce in it. Aside from that, I would have liked to have more snow peas and less onion. I cut the chicken into 1 inch cubes as stated, but then thought they were too big. Please don’t think I’m writing this to complain. I just thought it might be useful for people who use regular soy sauce to be warned to proceed with caution.”
