Made this for dinner tonight. My family loved it! The only changes I made were adding an extra tablespoon of oyster sauce and soy sauce to the marinade. The sauce was so good and could work with a variety of vegetables and proteins. I might even make this with tofu one day.

I used frozen broccoli and minced garlic and omitted the bok choy. I did add baby corn, water chestnuts and a little red crushed pepper. HUGE hit with the family! Will definitely make again!

Delicious! Didn't have any oyster sauce, so used some A-1 steak sauce. Good tastes all around!

This is very good. Unfortunately, I ran out of soy sauce in the middle--only 1 tablespoon. I added a can of chinese vegetables with the broccoli. Served it with an egg roll. The pepper was a good but surprising addition.

THis was great! Was looking for something to please my 9 year old when he asked for Chinese. Had everything except the bok choy and subbed celery instead. I loved the peppery taste; that did it for me. Thanks for sharing this one!

I agree with most of the other reviews in that the sauce(oyster and Soy) and the water needs to be doubled. I also added some crushed red pepper flakes to give it a little "kick". To keep the vegetables from getting too soft, I added them at the same time I added the cornstarch( in the last 5 min of cooking).

Awesome recipe! To jazz it up a bit, I add about a tablespoon of chopped ginger to the onion and garlic. I also add about a tablespoon or hot chili oil to the 3 tablespoons of peanut oil. It gives the dish extra spice and flavor. I do as suggested and add more oyster sauce, pepper, and sugar. I don't like cooking with bok choy so I use cabbage. I've also added shrimp and tofu to the recipe. This one is a keeper! As good as if you ordered it at a restaurant. Oh, and always use Jasmine rice, it taste the best. :)

Very good! I doubled the sauce like some suggested and that seemed to work very well.

This came out great! I actually left the bok choy out and added carrots because it was what I had. Next time I'll try it with the bok choy. Thanks.

This was very good. I agree that there wasn't enough sauce at the end of cooking and adding more soy sauce made it too salty. I think you should add an additional half cup of water and add a boullion cube. The Bok Choy is a keeper in this. loved it!
