This is my 8 year old sons favorite dish now. Great balance of Asian flavors gives this dish the perfect balance of sweet, spicy and umami.

ended up using regular flour and it was still great.

I made it last night for dinner and my whole family loved it! I couldn’t find tempura batter mix, so I used the cornstarch/flour mix and it turned out well. It did take awhile though, so I wouldn’t plan on cooking this if you don’t have a ton of time

I mistakenly picked up stir fry sauce instead of oyster sauce. So I added more orange juice. I was still delicious.

Really easy with Jet leading you through the directions. I wish i added a bit more orange to it. I think i will zest the orange next time around.

Amazing! I didn’t think I could make it better than the restaurants, but I did! Such a great recipe! I loved the step by step, it really gave me confidence all alone the way.

Dudley Bourgeois a year ago

everything came out perfect, but when i put the sauce in the hot pan at the end, i almost burned it. it still tasted great.

Andrew S. a year ago

Wow!!! I think it could be better. I might have screwed up and over cooked the sauce. Had a little bitterness. Need to figure out how to make it more orange color. Over all i thought it was a good recipe. The wife and 2 children loved it.
