Super easy I skipped the water chestnuts. One note don't add the sauce mixture if the pan is still on high/medium heat. Yummy! Read More

I'm not really a water chestnut fan so I left that part out but other then that this was pretty good. I used dark soy sauce some minced garlic and a little grated orange rind. Very flavourful:) Read More

to make this taste more authentic (tasted like it was missing something) I added some ginger garlic ground chili paste and little black pepper. came out much better when these were added - with these additions I would definitely make it again. Read More

I didn't use the water chestnuts as I was making just a single serving but I think that would make it a better presentation and more of a dish for guests. Because many of the reviewers said the sauce became too thick when added to the skillet I used the same amount of orange juice called for but only half the cornstarch. Some brown sugar for a bit of sweetness would be good to mellow the sharpness of the orange. My rating would actually be 3.5 for this. Read More

Not a bad recipe but it really did need to be seasoned not to mention more soy sauce. Would I make this again? Probably not but it was worth at least trying giving the ease of prep. Read More
