this is a lovely recipe, my boyfriend made it for me but changed the hot and sweet to sweet and sour sauce an left out the sambal olek which u can get from chinese superstores because we tried the original and i was way too hot for me, but the little changes i made, made it just right. thanks for the recipe though its gorgeous

Sumitha, I made this and we both liked it a lot....was forced to do few changes coz of unavailability of hot and sweet sauce in my pantry...i added a bit of brown sugar :P and used sesame oil and some scallions too...thanks a lot for sharing this recipe..now that I have tried two of your chicken preps, I am going to check out others too :)

Hope all is well with you, Take care
