Hi Bobby – first off, your site is amazing! There are so many Chinese dishes I want to try! There’s a couple things that maybe someone can clarify for me. Is there a difference between rice vinegar, rice wine vinegar, and rice wine? Are these 3 different things? Just want to make sure I’m buying the right ingredients!

Lorrie – the oil is just for frying the chicken. You would drain it from the pan when you are finished, and drain the chicken good on paper towels. If you are looking for something a little healthier. Try coating the chicken with flour and baking it in the oven. You could also cut back on the sugar in the recipe a bit.

Bobby, This recipe looks delish! I would love to make it for my husband but I was wondering how I could make it a little more weightwatcher friendly for myself. Could I maybe use just cooking spray in a wok?? If not how much oil would I absolutely need for one serving of chicken? Thank you so much for sharing this!! I am sure my husband will be so thankful too. He loves this dish (he just doesn’t like paying for it) Which is the reason I am so thankful as I will get major points for this one !!;)

Have made this dish at least 10 times since I found the recipe! It is great! For a little more heat I add Sambal Olek, really kicks it up a bit. I usually make the sauce x’s 4 (without the cornstarch) and keep it in a glass jar in the fridge, its great for any stir fry! Just add the cornstarch when you make the dish~ Thanks so much for sharing!

Made this dish this evening, but substituted tofu for the chicken! I also didn’t have rice vinegar, so I used apple cider vinegar and I didn’t have rice wine, so I used sherry and it came out fabulously! I would agree with others to double or triple the recipe, maybe add some water if you want it saucy. Definitely as close as it can get to the original.

Just finished making your recipe, it turned out great. My wife gets home in a few hours so I hope the chicken doesn’t get soggy like some people have said. If so I guess I’ll just make some more. I want to thank you for your recipe and for all the work that you have put into doing all of this. I will have to look up some of your other recipes. Thanks again.
