Really good! I added vegetables about halfway through the onion cooking time (chopped broccoli, mushrooms, cauliflower) next time jalapeno!

it was excellent! I followed the recipe to the T and it came out wonder and not like \"cheap mall food\" well whatever mall the previous person has been to and had something similar to this, I want the location to that mall! <\/p>
I'd have to say the title in general is a bit misleading. I tasted everything but the black pepper-- which is a great thing! it was a wonderful blend of curry, ginger and turmeric! <\/p>
I served it over a bed of a simple basmati rice pilaf, making sure to not season the rice with anything but low sodium chicken stock. the sauce on the chicken is flavorful enough for both the chicken and the rice. <\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2020-04-29","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"BrianMorel"},"reviewBody":"This is likely a silly question, but it's not clear in the first instruction if I'm only coating the chicken in the corn starch, or is the soy sauce mixture somehow involved?

Next time I'll leave out the curry and turmeric. I'll also use a little less soy and substitute the rest with water. The flavor is too bold for our taste and overpowered the chicken as well as our side dishes. I saw another reviewer ask about the directions with the soy sauce mixture. You would fry the cornstarch covered chicken, remove it and then add the onions to the pan. After a few minutes dump the soy mixture in with the onions and bring it to a boil.
