Hi Roni-

I am unable to find oat flour. Would wheat flour work as a thickener? Or I might have cornstarch (if I didn’t throw out the last box-they seem to sit around for years!)

Thanks!
Sherry

oh my gosh roni, scott and i had this for dinner tonight, and let me just say, i cannot believe something that i cooked actually tastes this good! i usually end up screwing things up, but not this! i can’t believe you actually threw this together with things you just had in your kitchen! i felt like i was eating chinese takeout until i saw the pans that needed cleaning in the kitchen!

My family asks me to make this once a week. This is just delicious. Very easy and fast. I add mushrooms, baby corn and shredded carrots. One of my favorite WW meals. Thank you for the great recipes!

My BF and I had this one last night for dinner, and it was wonderful! It was so easy to make too, I loved that. He was a little wary of all of the ingredients going into the sauce, but it smelled great, so he gave it a try and finished everything on his plate. Thanks for the great recipes… keep ‘em coming!

I fixed this tonight…. absolutly wonderful. I went back to the soy sauce and I found the sesame oil. It was not hard to fix either. The rice was really good to. I only had 1/2 cup of rice and it was more then enough. yummy.

We LOVE this recipe! Since I did not have sesame oil on hand as I made the recipe the first time. I just used Olive Oil and it came out perfect. I also had a hard time finding oat flour as a thickener so I used cornstarch instead, snd we added in water chestnuts to the mix as well for a little extra crunch. This recipe ROCKS!

Thank you so much!

Hi Steph – I’ve only ever seen small bottles of it near the soy sauce and other Asian condiments. A little goes a long way and I’ve had the same bottle for YEARS.

The rice is actually A Lipton Whole Grain side – Sesame flavor. It’s great for a quick side.
I have a post about them on WeightWatchen…

Looks wonderful and I can’t wait to try it.
Just one little question…

Tell me more about the rice side dish.
It looks like wild rice from the pic. Your recipe or take out left-overs? Did I miss the fake fried rice recipe post?

Thanks, Joy

I absolutely love chinese food and have pretty much stayed away from it these past few months. I am adding this to my dinner calendar next week! Thanks Roni for another great recipe.

Honestly, I am such a recipe-aholic and your creative, delicious recipes keep me on track!

Thank you so much!

Oh yum I’m so making this!!!! I had takeout chicken and broccoli yesterday and I’m sooooooo regretting it already. The MSG and all that sodium. Yuck. I’m sure yours is not only more healthy but tastes better too! Yay!
