We really enjoyed this dish! Like Roosie, I had never cooked with five spice powder before (and I was going to leave it out), but thanks to her suggestion I left it in, and I am glad I did. I doubled the recipe and minced 12 cloves of garlic in my mini food processor. I used both the brown onion, and I sprinkled chopped green onions on top when it was done. I didn't find it too salty; it was perfect. I also liked how the sauce glazed up pretty quickly. I cooked it a little longer to try to cook the garlic a bit. I served it with white rice and roasted sesame broccoli. Thank you Sue L!

* * * * These are my EXTRA stars for this dish! LOL I absolutely loved it. I used green onions only based on other suggestions, which I thought was great. And, I didn't have fish sauce, but had oyster sauce and it was great. I've never used chinese 5 spice, and I had some in the cupboard, and it is great. For me, I cut back on the garlic, to 4 cloves instead of 6, plus I also crushed it instead of slicing it. I don't like biting into pieces of garlic, but I like the flavor. I served this over sticky rice, and I will make this again. I had told my stepson I was making this and he said it sounded good, so on my first mouthful, I had phone in hand and called him to tell him it was awesome. Now I have to e-mail the recipe to his wife. Thanks Sue L for posting this terrific recipe.

This is my first time using Chinese Five Spice and I really enjoyed it. I actually didn't have any cilantro, so we just had over rice with Spicy Fried Celery #23818 on the side. Nice rich flavors (BF said it tasted "brown") and actually with a bit of a kick from the Five Spice! We added half a red bell pepper for some color and flavor. It was less sweet than I thought it would be with the honey. Nice, though. I wish I had had the cilantro, I think it would have added a lot. The Five Spice is a vital ingredient in this, I wouldn't omit it. Spicy and very flavorful. Yummy dinner. Thanks Sue!!
