    Could I leave it to marinade all day (Ie, place in the marinade before leaving for work) or would it be too long?

    First try it was delicious, but got a little sweet. Next go I reduced the sugar to 1tbs and it was perfect! Is my ‘go to’ stir fry now. I also added extra veggies of carrot, red caps and bok choy

    This is such a good recipe, it tastes exactly like take away (which is what I was going for!)

    Any Chinese-takeaway-inspired chicken recipes, Amanda?
