"The wife really liked this recipe. I like a lighter sauce than this makes but it was very good. I used lite soy and the next time I might cut the soy sauce a little bit. As the previous reviewer mentioned it isn't clear what to mix the cornstarch with to thicken the sauce. I used about a 1/3 cup of water and it worked fine. You could also mix with that leftover pineapple juice if you want it a bit fruitier. " - KeithD1949Yield: 2 Servings Ready in 45 minutes

was a little bitter...to much vinegar i think but it was very good i will defently make this again
|
|
|
To salty next time less soy
|
|

I turned it into a stirfry served over chowmein noodles and it turned out superb. The sauce is an excellent sauce to use for any type of stirfry, especially with chillies added.

I made it like a stirfry (bok choy, carrots, peppers, broccoli, etc.) And it was pretty darn good. I also added dried chilli flakes.

Good Stuff!…I added additional 1/4 red sweet bell pepper and dried hot peppers from my garden….Tasty N'Good, but next time I may reduce sugar a tad.

It came out too sweet. I doubled the sauce and the quantity was just fine but since I made it toddler friendly, I didn't use the peppers. It was too sweet for me
