    very close to take out... I forgot the onion/scallions and added in about 1 tsp of sesame oil... and swapped the splenda for 2 TBSP of honey... YUM... maybe next time I will add some sesame seeds and LESS or NO sesame oil - 1/20/11

    I'm glad to have found a low calorie version to one of my favorite meals. Can't wait to make it this week. I will rate it then.

    Not what I was expecting from the reviews... very good, but not quite take-out status. But then again, could just be missing the fried battered chicken, LOL. I would make this again. I also used honey instead of splenda. - 9/3/11

    it was delicious! There is a great kick to it. I used 2 tbsp of honey instead of splenda also, along with sesame oil instead of olive oil. I made 1 1/2 batch of sauce just to make sure there was enough, but there was PLENTY! Even serving it over rice, one batch of sauce would have been enough. - 7/30/11
