The only changes I made were to use brown sugar instead of corn syrup, and I ended up having to add some water to thin out the sauce as it was too sticky and glutinous. I made this with a mushroom medley pack which included oyster, chestnut, crimini and white button mushrooms. It could do with a little kick of something spicy, but otherwise, this was decent. Thank you!

My DH made this for dinner the other night and it was really good - but even better the next day. We cut the recipe in half, but used all the garlic, more fresh ginger than called for (probably 1 tsp or so) and only 1/4 cup of corn syrup (glad we did, or it would have been waaaay too sweet). The end result was tasty and healthy; we probably will turn to this recipe in future if we're looking for a chicken stir fry.

delicious! I was looking for a recipe to use up the 1/2 jar of plum sauce in the fridge and this was it. Halved the recipie and was enough for our family of 4, plus a lunch for my husband to take to work the next day. Thank you for sharing.

Good. I found a similar recipe that calls for only 1/4 cup of corn syrup (or golden syrup) which seemed a *much* less scary quantity! It also uses water chestnuts instead of mushrooms.

A very good taste. I would add some more veggies with this one. I also made coconut rice which was a wonderful addition to this.

I should have listened to the other reviewers who said it was too sweet! OMG. I could barely get it down. The first few bites were really good and then it went down from there. I added a touch more soy and siracha but that didn't help. I think the plum sauce is really sweet on its own. I've just never heard of using corn syrup in chinese, so I had to try it. I didn't even add the full half cup. Honestly, I don't see how 3/4 tsp of ginger could be too much as some said, but then again, people complain about a recipe being bland when it's got nothing but one ingredient by itself to add flavor?!?!!!! I added red bell, bean sprouts, onion and omitted mushrooms because I didn't have any...

We didn't put any chicken (or cornstarch) in because we only had bone-in chicken and we wanted something fast. We added more ginger (mixed into the sauce, not cooked with the veggies), cooked the garlic with the vegetables, decreased the corn syrup to 1/3 cup, and added water chestnuts for crunch. A nice stir-fry sauce, excellent over jasmine rice. This dish was fabulous meatless, but we will definitely try it with chicken in the future.

It was too gingery for me, and I cut the ginger a bit too. Not a bad meal, but we didn't love it. We prefer Oyster Sauce Chicken, which is similar.

My husband and I love this recipe. It is a regular meal in our house. I spice it up a little bit by adding a few shakes of red pepper flakes and I use a spicy plum sauce. I just use whatever veggies I have on hand. Thanks for the simple and tasty recipe!

This is a great concept to combine the flavor of ginger with the body of the plum sauce in a simple dish. I made this with zuchini and lots of onions; the result was a dish I will put on my regular menu.

This is a great recipe! I have made many different stir fry sauces and this one is fabulous and easy to prepare! I made it with pork, and put ginger in with the rice. My husband says its one of his favorites! Very very good.

very delicious, though I am glad we ended up not having light corn syrup on hand as the dish was sweet and a bit sauce heavy as it was. used zucchini and sugar snap peas instead of mushrooms and snow peas. will definitely have again!!
