    Stir fry was always my least favourite dish growing up. I love my mom dearly, but chicken breast cannot sit in a frying pan for half an hour and remain edible, and “low sodium” soy sauce is a crime against nature. This recipe has changed that very quickly, and I make a double batch at least once a month.

    That said, I would be VERY interested to see someone get this prepped and cooked in 30 minutes. Even in a single batch, the sauce took a good 10 minutes alone just to thicken. A minor complaint, of course. Excellent recipe.

    We had to use low sodium chicken broth and soy sauce which made us have to use more seasoning for ours BUT that’s on US not this recipe, this recipe is delicious! After we added our seasonings it was less bland (again on us because we are watching our sodium intake). We added sugar snap peas at the end during the simmering process and served it over those 90 second fried rice packets. So good! Will make again 🙂

    Oh my gosh! This recipe is to die for! It’s so delicious. My boyfriend loves it so much, as do I and I’m a picky eater. I usually use this recipe and by the end of the week find all of my veggies that are almost expired. I chop up what I got and usually use 2 plus pounds of chicken, meaning I double the sauce ratio. It seems a bit healthy so I also serve it with white rice.
    I’ve cooked up this recipe a few times now and it’s a topped many recipes!!!

    Great, delicious meal! Used what I had in fridge: zucchini, bell peppers, bok choy, carrots, mushrooms, and canned corn.
    Always have red onion and ginger on hand.
    Took another reviewer’s suggestion to coat the chicken in the corn starch prior to cooking. It did make a difference in the thickness of the sauce. Actually used more corn starch than suggested, just eye balled it. Also used sesame oil throughout the stages of cooking. Had it with white rice. My teenage daughter loved it!
    Thank you, will be using this recipe over and over again…!

      September 22, 2022

      Hi Gigi, you may simmer more until the sauce thickens. Also, sometimes if you are using a smaller skillet and ingredients are crowded, the sauce may not thicken properly. Also, changing veggies, or adjusting amounts in the recipe can affect how much moisture is in the recipe. I hope that helps.

    I threw together a version of this recipe and then looked up yours to see how it compared. I cooked it almost exactly like you did. I used a bag of frozen chicken tenderloins and a bag of frozen stir fry veggies, and it came out really well. Next time, I’m going to try adding the garlic and ginger that you suggested. I gave you five stars because all of your recipes are DELICIOUS, and I know this one will be too!

    I thought this was good! I followed the recipe exactly, except added more corn starch (2 tablespoons instead of 1), I added my vegetables in increments of hardness ie celery first, zucchini last, and used peanuts instead of cashews. I also added a bit of chili flake to the sauce, as we like it hot. I asked my husband if he thought it was bland, and he shrugged and added a bit more soy sauce. All in all, I’ll make it again.

        I made this according to the recipe but I used frozen stir fry veggies. I thawed them out first but did use the mushrooms fresh. We found it a tad bland. Next time I’m matching soy to broth ratio and not add water.

          Hi Dave, if using frozen veggies, it will release more liquid to the stir fry which can make it seem bland.

    I wasn’t happy with the results following the directions. The vegetables became soggy trying to thicken the sauce. For the amount of liquid, I questioned only 1 tablespoon of corn starch. The sauce never really thickened. Also the chicken is cooked without any seasoning. At the end I thought the whole thing bland and all the sesame seeds in the world wasn’t going to fix it.

      Hi Chris, sometimes if you are using a smaller skillet and ingredients are crowded, the sauce may not thicken properly. Also, changing veggies, or adjusting amounts in the recipe can affect how much moisture is in the recipe. I hope that helps.

        I was excited to try this looks amazing. Overall it was good I added shrimp to mine. The only problem with mine was the sauce didn’t thicken any suggestions for next time

          Hi Teresa, you may simmer more until the sauce thickens. Also, sometimes if you are using a smaller skillet and ingredients are crowded, the sauce may not thicken properly.

    I made this last night for dinner. I was so good. Not salty like some other stir fry recipes. I made it with sugar snap peas, peppers and garlic from our garden. It was very good. And yes, your sauce is the best !!!

    I love this recipe, my husband and I make it pretty often but omit the chicken for a meatless option during the week. We are actually about to have our first baby and would love to stockpile a serving or two in our freezer. Would you recommend freezing it and/or have any tips to do so and reheat?

      Hi Cheryl, I haven’t tested this with frozen veggies, but it may make the sauce a little looser. Some readers reported using part frozen and part fresh veggies for the stir fry with good results.

    Absolutely love this recipe, I make it all the time. My son has an oral allergy to fresh fruits and veges, so I use frozen stir fry veges, which is just as good and cuts out the extra prep work. I add it at the same time as the sauce, which I double the sauce because I love it that much. I use chicken breast, low sodium soy sauce and replace chicken broth with water and better than bouillon. Over white rice and I’m a happy camper!

    You can knock down the sodium by using low salt soy sauce.
