We have made this recipe several times, one time we used a "second rate" plum sauce, it taught us that the quality of ingredients for sure makes a difference in the end product, now we use only the highest quality ingredients and it is stellar every time! All the kids love this recipe too because they get to eat it with their fingers! We use Chuka Soba chow mien noodles instead though.

I have made this recipe many many times, it's one of my go to recipes since I always have all the ingredients on hand. Besides making it with chicken, I've also made it with sliced pork tenderloin, ground pork, shrimp and also just a veggie combo with lots of mushrooms, zucchini and extra peppers... I love it!!!
