We extended the recipe - not really doubled - by adding a bit more chicken, green and red sweet peppers and carrots and little extra of the oyster sauce. It was really good. Next time will probably do the same amount of veggies but a little less sauce just to reduce the saltiness. And the leftovers became after school snacks the next two days!

Very tasty yes but I wouldn't label it 'authentic Chinese restaurant style'. I also used far less cornstarch going by experience and incorporated more veggies. Will make again thanks.

There is nothing disgusting or problematic with this meal, but it wasn't particularly interesting or flavorful. Just simple, basic stir fry. Also, the 10 minutes of stir-frying the chicken prior to even adding veggies is WAY too much. I had a hunch that was much too long so I did about 5 minutes before adding the veggies/liquids, and even that dried the chicken all the way out. The chicken is cooking about three times longer than it needs to.

I used bok choy, broccoli, snow peas, red pepper, and mushrooms. I agree, any combination of vegetables works. It came out really soupy, even after I added the cornstarch. But tasted very good.

This is a great base recipe for stir fry! I tripled the sugar and made it brown sugar (better tasting) and added 2 stalks of chopped lemongrass (HIGHLY RECOMMEND for enhanced flavor). I used the vegetables I had on hand: parsnips, carrots, shallots, zucchini, green pepper. This recipe mades oyster sauce actually taste ten times better! ;-)

We really enjoyed this. I don't really like snow peas so I used a can of baby corn instead. I added mushrooms to it as well. You could use pretty much any vegetable you like. Will make again for sure.

My kids really liked this. I thought it was ok, but missing something - not sure what. I will try with ginger next time. I did cut the cornstarch in half as suggested by others. I also added green pepper to it and blended in well.

Loved this recipe!!! I made my own lil changes with low sodium soy, canola oil, mushrooms, carrots, broccoli and a lil bit of sliced cabbage. I also added some smart taste thin spagetti to it cause my husband suggested it. I did cut down the cornstarch like others said to. I will be making again soon. It was an easy recipe and it turned out amazing! Everyone in my household liked it.
