This was tasty and very easy. I would agree w/ the extra ginger and garlic and perhaps only 1/2 tbsp or less of brown sugar

Delicious! This recipe pleased the taste buds of my entire family, including my super picky 6 year old son, and this is no easy task! Not only tasty, but lovely, too!

Excellent quick dish. Like another reviewer, I too made my own hoisin sauce - about 1/2 cup and it was just the right amount of sauce. Didn't add anything else as it contained peanut butter, sesame oil and soy sauce and honey which gave plenty of sweet, salty sauce. Added a can of baby corn but could have used peppers, brocc, carrots... next time!

This dish was great. My family truly enjoyed it .. instead of peanut oil I used canola oil because it is what I had on hand .. doubled the recipe .. will make again

Made exactly as written. This dish is bland. boring and barely edible. My son and I both threw it out after a few bites. One of the very few times I have been let down by the ratings on this site.

I used broccoli instead of asparagus because it's what i had on hand. the steps are great and the finished product is beautiful and almost perfect... but WAY too sweet for me... and I love sweet!! I've made it a couple of times now and plan to omit the brown sugar completely in the future. Very easy to make. Works well with vegetables only as well, if you don't have or want chicken.

This was DELICIOUS. A tad sweet, so next time I will decrease the brown sugar to maybe 1/2 T instead of a whole but overall it was very tasty. I'm rating 4 stars because of the sweetness, and because I added extra veggies which made it MUCH tastier. I think as is, the recipe needs more to it to earn 5. If you add other veggies and cut down the sugar, easily 5 stars. I will use this sauce for other stir fry recipes as well.

My intention was to make the recipe exactly as is, but it didn't turn out that way. I used the recipe as a guide and made a lot of changes. I added a red pepper, water chestnuts, and baby corn. The grocery didn't have hiosin sauce so I just added just brown sugar, pepper and soy sauce (nearly double what the recipe called for). When the chicken was near done I added cayenne pepper for some spiciness. Turned out fabulous! Next time I think I am going to add peanuts for a bit of crunch, but the right vegetables make the dish stand out!

Really quick, easy, and tasty. A great alternative to run-of-the-mill stir fry.

This was really good. I used 2 breasts and 2 thighs and 1 pound of asparagus with about a tablespoon of minced garlic. I served it over leftover white rice, and it went over well with my husband and two teenagers. I tripled the hoisin sauce and brown sugar to have enough sauce for added chicken/asparagus. I also used olive oil for sauteeing, and added 1 teaspoon smooth peanut butter to sauce to make up for not using peanut oil. Will definitely make this again, maybe experimenting with beef and/or another vegetable. Thanks for the recipe.
