Just okay. I didn't have sherry or wine, so maybe that's why this seemed sort of unexciting to me.

    I wish one of my recipes had 225 stars. Egad! Excellent, simple, fast sauce with stuff I already have on hand. Love the taste and consistency. I've tried others - love this one.

    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 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!
