“Followed the directions exactly and it worked out wonderfully. I will admit that when I measured out the rice wine vinegar a bit extra spilled, making the sauce a little too tart, but I just offset it with a tablespoon of peanut butter and it mellowed right o” — a cook, 5.0★
“My husband and I enjoyed this, however I did not like the carrots (personal choice) and I didn’t do the peanuts because I was lazy. We preferred the tofu, if you can believe it!! Partially freezing the chicken was brilliant!!!! Thank you” — a cook, 4.0★
