  • “Was very yummy! DH rated it a “7 or 8 stars” meal, which is a great thing! Easy to prepare. We used bok choy, red bell pepper and zucchini with some fresh onion for the veggies. Very filling and perfect flavoring!”

  • “Used leftover rotisserie chicken and added at the end. Costco stir fry veggies. 1/2 c orange juice and no water but concentrate would have been better. Also added 1 tsp rooster sauce. Would have been too much for DH but he was out of town!”

  • “Wonderful recipe. Absolutely love the sauce. Definitely going to try it on other dishes!”

  • “EXCELLENT! 😉 I added some red pepper flakes to the chicken while it was cooking, reduced the sugar and and added just a tad more garlic (garlic lover!), seasoned the chicken w/ a LITTLE salt & pp and cooked in olive oil, otherwise followed the recipe as is! The consistency of the sauce was perfect! YUM! Thanks for sharing!!!”

  • “Easy to make and even my 7 yr. old daughter likes it.”

  • “Added shrimp and used lemon juice.Great recipe! Very tasty!”

  • “This is very good.I made it last night for just myself and am making it again tonight.I used lemon juice and splenda and added bok choy, broccoli and cashews.It was so good. Thanks a ton!”

  • “This was great and simple!I did not have orange juice concentrate so used pineapple juice concentrate instead, which possibly added sweetness.The veggies on hand included Bok Choy, cabbage, broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, and snow peas.I didn’t plan ahead enough to make rice or udon noodles so I did a quick Ramen to serve under the stir fry and it was actually quite good!Thanks for sharing, will be making again soon.”

  • “So good! I only used half the soy sauce and added 3 Tbsp lemon juice.I garnished with chow mein noodles. Will definitely make it again!”

  • “Just what I wanted.A good basic stir fry recipe, nothing too fussy , didn’t have to go get any special ingredients. I did stir fry the chicken first, removed it from the pan, then stir fried the veggies separately. Once they got to the level of doneness I liked, I added the chicken back in and proceeded.”

  • “I thought this was a good basic recipe.Thanks for a keeper ;)”

  • “i love this,I mixed all sauce ingred. plus red pepper flakes (for that zip) and soaked chicken in sauce for 2 hours. then cooked chicken then added a bag of Froz. stirfry Veg.,so easy. ty”

  • “Not bad for a basic recipe. But it certainly could have used a bit more zesty-ness for being called a zesty stir-fry. I made it with onions, carrots, green beans, and a bit of broccoli. It was quite tasty. I ended up adding three more garlic cloves and using rice vinegar for the sauce. I think next time Ill add a bit more spice, and maybe use brown sugar instead of white in the sauce.”

  • “I tried this last night, I doubled the cornstarch then added some chicken broth until I got the consistency I wanted. I used broccoli and onions for vegetables because I didnt have the carrots and mushrooms I would have liked to have added. I added probably a tbsp fresh ginger and I served this on whole wheat noodles garnished with the sesame seeds, yummy chinese noodles! I will be making this again, thanks!”

  • “My family really enjoyed this. Even my picky stepson liked it! I served it over rice, and used red bell peppers, broccoli, and mushrooms. Our sauce didn’t thicken either, but it didn’t matter. Thanks for sharing this.”

  • “Excellent flavor. Our sauce didn’t thicken, but it still tasted good. We used green bell peppers, sugar snap peas and an onion.We also added powdered ginger, szechwan seasoning, black pepper, white pepper, and sesame oil.”

  • “This recipe was very easy to make and very delicious! Thank you.”

  • “this was an excellent dish! my whole family liked it. for the vegetables, I used carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, and tomatos, the carrots didn’t really have much flavor, but the sauce really brought out the flavor in the broccoli!”

  • “This dish was very tasty, I made it exactly the way the recipe called only I doubled it because I am a saucy kind of gal!”

  • “GNAM!!! This one’s a keeper for sure!!! Thanks for the recipe!
    The only thing I changed was that since I didn’t have the fresh ginger I added half lemon’s juice instead of the concentrate and added sesame seeds at the end.
    I marinaded the chicken with the sauce ingredients and cooked first the chicken and then the veggies with the sauce. I used fresh red pepper, scallops, a carrot, mushrooms and frozen broccoli! Served it on white rice. Delicious!!!”
