I didn't need to add a thing to this. It's very good!! I used the dry sherry and made the sauce for a chicken stir-fry with celery, carrots, snow peas, zucchini, water chestnuts, and radishes. We really loved the taste of this sauce! Thanks Sharon, another keeper!

FANTASTIC FLAVOR!!! 5+++ stars. I doubled the recipe. I used rice wine instead of dry sherry and added some crushed red pepper into my serving (I love hot and spicy) at the end. I used chicken breast and cut them into thin slices. I sprinkle it with a little garlic salt, salt and ground ginger and let sit in fridge for 20 minutes b/fore stir frying. I served over angel hair pasta that I sprinkled with a little soy sauce before putting on plate. Next time I will try SHRIMP!!! This is sooooo gooood!!

I reduced the corn starch to 2 tbls and I'm so glad I did. Otherwise I followed as directed while adding some crushed red pepper for heat. Very nice stir fry sauce with those changes.
