Kind of Spicy - Tame it down for Mom.

Love by Cory & Steph since 2006

 "At first I thought that calling for 2 cups of oil was excessive, but the corn starch in the marinade sets up kind of like some type of breading (almost). I would suggest, however, that the veggies be cooked in a LOT less oil. Also, we added about 1/2 cup of uncooked peanuts to make it more like the Hunan chicken I've had delivered. The dish was great! The ginger adds a little heat that isn't over-powering and is very tasty! I'll make this one again for sure!" - Pithecanthropus

    Not the best.

    While this wasn't the worst dish I don't think I'd make it again without some major changes which would really mean a different recipe. I didn't find there was much sauce to the dish at all after cooking. I also didn't find it that spicy for my taste. This had good flavour but just wasn't what I was looking for.
