Burned the garlic, scallions, and pepper by following the directions. Next time I'll be more careful, but it turned out great.

Pretty decent flavor. It's not as hot as I normally like my General Tsao, so I also added some hot sauce. I think the sauce could be used to marinate beef and fish too.

Excellent recipe and very well written out. It was easy enough for a novice like myself to make!

Absolutely worth the 6 points, delicious and filling (and excellent with a side of steamed broccoli). Somewhat less spicy than what you would get in a restaurant, but that definitely makes it more kid friendly. The whole family (even my skinny and picky husband) loved this!

This was delicious. The only thing I changed was Splenda for sugar and Perdue Perfect Portions Chicken Breast (Roasted Garlic and White Wine) as it is lower in calories. Otherwise, nothing got changed. Our family loved it. Thank you moleman2000. Very nice dish and perfect nutrition.

Just ate it for dinner and I thought it was so good... Will probably make it again this week... It took a little longer but worth the wait...
