    I like that oyster sauce flavor...I think it would be bland without it (but I love Asian food). I added some other veggies as well because I had them on hand. I added carrots, snow peas and celery. Yum! - 12/3/10

    great! I'd cook the chicken to about 80% next time (5-6min) then add broth. (chicken was overdone) - 1/25/08

    Sorry to be the spoiler here, but I guess I discovered I do NOT like oyster sauce. I think I would have liked this if I had not added it. Had to mask that flavor by adding more sherry and throwing in some crushed red pepper. Probably would not make this again, though. - 8/3/07
