looks yummy – could you post the quantities please??
This looks really delicious but I’m afraid I can’t find the amounts listed anywhere.
I would really like to make this. Are there supposed to be measurements? or is this just to taste? Sorry, I’m a bit confused.
No ingredients list? I would love to make this and I could probably figure it out, but do you have the amounts of what you used for the sauce?
Nope, not much more to want! Quick, easy, everyone loves it, and minimal clean up! Yup, sounds like a winner!
Speaking of winners… I made your orange chicken. We really enjoyed it though it was quite spicy. I was okay with it but I should have cut back on the red pepper flakes for the kids. They like spicy but they love to soak their rice in sauce which in this case was too spicy.
I’ll definitely be making it again.

I’ve tried many of your recipes. This looks GREAT! I can’t wait to try this and your orange chicken recipe. Can you believe I’d never had it until last week? For some reason, I was scared to give it a try when eating out… I found a new love! It was delicious. I can’t wait to try it at home!
thanks for the ingredients list i cant wait to make this !!
Thank u! your blog is a breather from exams.

Amelia: Thank you very much! I know how you feel!
Kaleena: Yeah, I made the post at like, midnight last night so I was a little out of it! hahah.
Steph: Thanks! And you’re not alone. Before I starting dating Kramer, he refused to even eat Chinese food! Now he loves it.
Ingrid: I think that living in Phoenix has made me have a higher tolerance for spicy foods, haha, so I’m always adding some extra head. I’m glad you liked it, though!
Made this last night, and it was very tasty! For personal preference, I’ll probably reduce the soy a bit next time, and probably add a bit more ginger.
The glaze on the chicken looks delicious, what a great go-to meal!
I made this tonight, it was delicious! Everyone loved it.
Just made this for lunch today. It was delicious! Thanks for the recipe!
I clicked on this recipe from Tastespotting, and I`m so glad I did! It looks so simple to make and absolutely delicious. I can’t wait to try this one out.
This website is seriously becoming the number one place I get new recipes — this is another winner! I and my husband enjoyed it a lot, and the leftovers were still quite tasty the next day for lunch.
Made this recipe tonight and it was great I can’t begin to tell you! My family LOVED it and I have yet another “keeper” recipe from you! Thanks!
Just made this and it turned out AMAZING!!! Better than eating at a restaurant…and so simple to make! Congrats on your wedding.
Hey! I’ve posted to you on your LJ posts so you might (or might not) recognize the name but anyways, how important is the ground ginger because in my household we have triplicates of just about every spice but no ground ginger or is there something I could subsitute?
Ok just to let you know I made this twice and my sauce never came out as light as yours. I made it twice and it came out the same time. Luckily its just for me and I love strong flavors but its over powering according to my Mother. Could the ratios be off?
My husband and I had invited my parents over for dinner this evening and this morning I’d decided to give this recipe a try. Delicious! I doubled the recipe and it worked great. And everyone went back for seconds! Always a good sign. Thanks for yet another delicious recipe – I’ve made many that you’ve posted and they always turn out so well.
