i used way too much oil in the wok so it was very oily - the sauce had a nice taste, but got too viscous - because of the excess oil? We had this with organic sausage, rice pilaf and honeydew melon :) and liked it

Very good tasting recipe. I used lite olive oil and left out the cornstarch. This was served with crockpot chicken and the taste contrast was great Thanks, Bergy
