  When stir frying, I always cook the meat first (especially with chicken) to make sure it gets cooked through. Remove from wok and stir fry veggies, adding meat back at the end.
  For goodness sake, season to your liking - if you find it bland, add some more Thai hot sauce. - 7/17/11

  Made it tonight and served over quinoia. Substituted Stir Fry Sauce for Hoison. Added asparagus, zucchini and Green pepper too. Very good. - 6/30/11

  Wonderful and easy to do-I often follow this using veggies alone or shrimps instead of chcken. - 2/9/10

  Hoisin sauce ( smoky Asian bbq sauce) can be found in international or Asian supermarket aisle with soy sauce. - 4/22/12

  Good- but needs more flavor-- more ginger, garlic, and hot sauce will help! - 8/28/10

  Excellent! Quick and easy. Only thing I would change is to stir fry the chicken first then set aside, cook veggies, then add chicken back in. But more oil will probably be required to cook veggies and is most likely why Meg did it this way. Will definitely cook this again - 3/28/12

  Haven't tried it yet, so can't rate it. However, based on the comments I will add a bit more ginger, garlic and hot sauce. It's hard to understand why several people ask what hoisin is. Ever heard of Google? I've never come up blank when Googling. - 1/7/12

  We also cooked it with asparagus, cobbettes, and water chestnuts. We had just done this a week ago before I saw this recipe. We also served it on brown rice. - 9/24/11

  Excellent and very filling. I had fresh broccoli from my garden and I used some bean sprouts to stretch it out even more without a lot of extra calories. - 7/21/11

  I substituted fish sauce (since that's what I had on hand) for hoisin sauce, tripled the garlic, ginger, and hot sauce, then added an onion to the aromatics. It was very tasty and my steak-and-potato-loving husband went back for seconds. - 9/18/12

  Super simple and very good. I did add a tsp of cornstarch to the soy sauce mixture to thicken up the sauce. My family (kids too) liked it. Thanks. - 4/27/12

  I am going to try this recipe tonight. We are trying to cut back on the red meat (a difficult thing for ex South Africans), but this chicken recipe seems easy, healthy and tasty. Thank you for helping us to change our bad habits. We love SparkPeople Recipe's! - 2/8/10

  I thought the sauce was a little bland. We added another T of soy sauce and a T of oyster sauce, and that helped a lot. I make a lot of stir fries, so I'm always excited to try a new sauce recipe! - 7/17/11

  Hoisin sauce, or haixian sauce, is a Chinese dipping sauce.

  This was great-used red and yellow peppers and added pea pods and extra low sodium soy sauce when served up. Didn't use mushrooms but will make a version of this one night a week. New goal. - 7/17/10

  I have never heard of any cook or chef stir frying the chicken and the veggies together in the beginning in a recipe like this. You usually stir fry the chicken, remove to a plate, then stir fry the veggies, make the sauce then add all back in last few mins. Otherwise great recipe! - 7/17/12

  I recommend slicing the chicken very thin, then put in one egg white along with 1 tbsp corn starch. This keeps the chicken moist while stir frying. I also use napa cabbage. And LOTS more garlic & ginger. - 3/8/13

  I'm trying to figure out how mincing garlic and ginger, slicing/chopping broccoli and mushrooms, roasting a red pepper, shredding carrots and cooking/cubing chicken, can be done in 5 minutes. I've used this recipe before and it's a great recipe, but it takes FAR longer than 5 minutes to prep. - 11/17/12

  This recipe looks delicious. However, you listed prep time as 5 minutes. That may be true AFTER the veggie and meat prep. It would be very beneficial if the true prep time was listed. Looking forward to trying it! Thanks. - 7/30/12

  I make this often, using various veggies, and meats (The shrimp idea sounds wonderful!) AsJanwosowever said I too, cook the meat first. Remove it, than the veggies, adding the meat back in. And with ANnie028 I double (or if in the mood LOL) I triple the garlic, and ginger. Plus onion. - 7/22/21

  I too cooked the chicken first then removed it and added veggies. I didn't shred the carrots, sliced thin. Our tummies don't like spicy so I added oyster sauce instead. Made brown jasmine rice. Very good! - 7/22/21

  I love this but couldn't help but change, I don't mind the extra calories. For the sauce I use low-sodium chicken broth for the water, add a teaspoon of dry sherry. But that's my habit from cooking stir-fry for years. - 10/24/18
