“This was absolutely delicious!! My kids loved it and went back for seconds and told me to make it again. I substituted the honey for brown sugar because I didn't realize I was out of brown sugar and I used olive oil because I didn't have peanut oil. I honestly” — a cook, 5.0★

“So delicious! The sauce is amazing. I did make the sauce last night except for the cornstarch. I used broccoli, green pepper, onion, julienned carrots, snow peas, and water chestnuts. Next time I will add more veggies to soak up that delicious sauce. Thank you” — a cook, 5.0★
