  1. Hi Ya’ll,is this correct: 0.5 cups soy sauce. isnt that 1/2 cup of soy sauce? wont that amount make this recipe salty?ThanksSocks

  2. This was a hit for dinner tonight for my family, including two elementary school aged boys who are skeptical about Asian flavor. I did use low sodium soy sauce. Also left the broccoli out until the end because we like it crunchy. I cooked it in the microwave and mixed into the dish with the cashews. Thanks for a great new addition to our dinner rotation!

  3. I used low sodium soy sauce and only 3/4 as much as called for and found this to be almost too salty, although my husband thought it was fine. All the veggies get soft, as you would expect in a crockpot so at the end I added some canned sliced water chestnuts for some more crunch.

  4. Hi there,can i just freeze the sauce and the chicken veggie mixture all together? what i the purpose of putting it into separate bags?

    1. Hi Tasha,It’s possible it might get a little soggy, but otherwise I don’t see why you can’t freeze it altogether.

  5. Have a question on the amount of chicken broth–it looks like you are saying only–(0.5 cups chicken broth)= only 1/2 cup of liquid. Is that correct?

    1. Yes, Mary, that is the correct amount of chicken broth. There is also soy sauce, and rice wine vinegar, in addition to the moisture that will be drawn from the veggies and other ingredients.
