I followed this recipe pretty much exactly except for using fresh ginger instead of ground. Did anyone else notice that "4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced" is listed twice on the ingredients list? Since the directions didn't mention adding the second bunch of garlic, I assumed it was an error and left the second batch out. This was pretty good, not spectacular, but I'd definitely make it again. Thanks, Amanda1432!

I didn't get the great ratings for this recipe. Leave out the salt and pepper - there's enough salt with the soy sauce (even low sodium soy sauce)and pepper is not an asian spice and it overpowers the rest of the dish. Add some sugar for more dimension. This really isn't that great - maybe with some modifications. The one good thing is it is healthy and low in calories!

Great recipe. As previous recommendations, doubled the sauce. I left out the red pepper flakes and there was just enough kick for us. My only complaint is that it really doesn't make enough so next time I will double it so we have leftovers for lunch the next day! Chopped nuts on the top were the perfect addition and added water chestnuts for extra texture - yum!

Very good recipe! I used Sriracha sauce in stead of paste and it wasnt too spicey. Thickened the sauce with corn starch to make a light gravy.

I tried this last night with a few modifications based on what I had at home and based on users' reviews. I wasn't really sure what weight 2 chicken breasts were, and I had 2 lbs. of chicken on hand, so ended up using 2 lbs. I doubled the sauce and used stir fry veggies instead of broccoli. It turned out great, and my husband said it was spicy, but "the good kind of spicy"...will definitely try again1

Very tasty. I doubled the sauce and added 1 cup thinly sliced carrots which I steamed with the brocolli. This made it more colorful and darker than the picture.

Great, easy, healthy recipe for mi-week working people. I used frozen broccoli florets (steamed first) to save time. Tasty and a little bit of a spicy bite.

This was a very adaptable recipe! We aren't big on really spicy food so I left out the chile paste and cut the crushed red pepper to 1/8 tsp. I could still taste some 'heat' which was just perfect for my family. Didn't have any hoisin sauce so I added 1 tbl brown sugar as others mentioned. It wasn't sweet tasting at all but was delicious. I think there was a misprint in the recipe on the garlic so I only used 4 cloves. I also added celery, green bell peppers, mushrooms, and slightly steamed carrots. I also added 8 oz of al dente spaghetti so I increased the chicken stock to 2/3 cup and mixed in 1 tbl of cornstarch to it to thicken the sauce a bit before adding the cooked spaghetti. Just what I was looking for. Loved the ginger in it.

My husband and I loved the recipe but it was a bit spicy and we left out the Chile sauce cause we forgot to buy it (oops). I did add some brown sugar to calm down the heat.Sauce was fine I just added a bit more chicken stock being that I simmered it for so long and I didn't steam the broccoli. It cooked down just fine on a simmer while I made some pan fried pot stickers to go with this meal. MMM good recommend..

Very very good. Instead of chicken I used tofu. Some people added brown sugar but I thought the sweetness was just perfect. I used hoisin sauce so I guess if you do not have any on hand you might need the sugar other than that I do not think it needs it. I used chili garlic as another reader suggested and served with basmati rice. Delicious

I made this for dinner last night, and we both enjoyed it very much. I did omit the black pepper, and we felt that it was still a bit too spicy for our taste. I think that next time I'll also leave out the crushed pepper, and just bump up the amount of chili paste a touch (I used Thai chili-garlic sauce because it's what I had on hand). I used about 6 cups of broccoli florets and peeled the broccoli stalks, sliced them and added them to the wok with the chicken for an extra nutritional boost. Quite tasty!

Very good. I did make a few changes but nothing major in my opinion. I added a little brown sugar as other suggested and I also added some rice wine vinegar, about 1 tablespoon. I thought it turned out tasty.

Loved this! I adapted it to fit my tastes and it was great. Instead of just using broccoli I used a variety of vegtables that I like in a stir-fry and then used the sauce with it. It had a wonderful flavor. I agree with others that there wasn't a whole lot of sweet about it but still so good. I will definitely be making this again.

I made this for dinner tonight. I did enjoy it but felt that the sweet aspect of the dish wasn't really there. I also had to add extra chicken stock so there would be some moisture to the dish. Other than that I really enjoyed it and would make it again maybe pineapple chunks or honey would sweeten it up. Overall a very good and healthy stir-fry!
