Great recipe! Even hubby commented on how good it was....as he scarfed it down! I did tweak it a little. I doubled the sauce and I added a little bit of honey. I didn't have low sodium soy sauce, so the honey took the 'edge' off the saltiness. One thing hubby suggested for next time is to replace the 1/2 cup water with chicken stock instead. I'll be making this again for sure!

Excellent stir fry recipe. If you get everything ready ahed of time it tkes minutes to make. I thought I had sherry in the house - last minute no sherry - I used equal amounts of Brandy Excellent.. Use the full amounts of the onions, garlic & ginger - they are so tasty on your rice. Thanks Derf for a very enjoyable meal. Love your recipes.

I made this yesterday. If I were giving stars, I'd say 2, but my husband, who is less particular, seemed to like it alright, maybe 4 stars. I'm not scoring, however, because I used 2 tablespoons regular, not low-sodium soy sauce, and this may have changed the flavor. I thought there was way too much soy sauce in it. Aside from that, I would have liked to have more snow peas and less onion. I cut the chicken into 1 inch cubes as stated, but then thought they were too big. Please don't think I'm writing this to complain. I just thought it might be useful for people who use regular soy sauce to be warned to proceed with caution.
