      1. Thanks! I made this with white wine vinegar tonight for my family and guests. My husband couldn’t stop talking about how good it was! I’ll probably reduce the vinegar next time (I could really notice it), but it was great! Thanks!

  1. My girls have always loved sesame chicken and we too are cutting costs where we can. This dish was perfect! We were watching some friends kids and they loved it too. So much so that we didn’t have any leftovers – I will definitely make some for the freezer next week.

    1. Hi Maggie. The sugar is the very first ingredient that you use, it’s in the first sentence. I know it isn’t listed in the order that it appears in the recipe. I hope you enjoy!

    1. Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention! The broccoli has been added. We apologize for the confusion. Please let us know if you have more questions!

    1. There are a few brands that make a GF soy sauce, but definitely feel free to substitute for Tamari sauce if you like. You could also use liquid aminos or coconut aminos as a GF substitute.
