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

Very quick and really easy. Simple flavors of the orange and broccoli are good together. 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
