I used chicken thigh meat and doubled the quantity. The sauce in my opinion is perfect when the sugar is cut back to 1/2 cup. Also used Cremini mushrooms and my family loved it!

Great recipe, easy and quick. Took previous reviewer's suggestion and added aburage also. Shared with my newlywed grandbaby, she said hubby loved it.
