    The coating on this chicken was quite good. Next time, I would reduce the water by more than half. It was very runny. The recipe is very lemony, which I like however there is something missing, I'm not sure what. I also stir fried some veggies in one side of the pan whilst the chicken was cooking.

    This was great. I actually had 3 limes (rather than lemons) that I used. I also substituted chicken stock paste for the veggie stock paste. Finally, after cooking the chicken and putting it to one side, I stir fried some spring onions, carrot, red capsicum and Swiss brown mushrooms. Added back the chicken, lured I. The sauce then added the rice. Great flavours. Would make this again!

    A quick weeknight dinner. This is the second time I have done this recipe. Reduced water by half & also reduced sugar by half as I prefer my lemon sauce a little tart.

    I quite liked it, hubby thought it had an odd taste. I think next time I’ll leave the soy & stock out. I left the ginger out cos I only realized once I started making it that I didn’t have any. I also used less water & more cornflour.

    Everyone in our family loved this dish, the ginger and lemon combination was delicious. I added carrot and zucchini.

    This was ok. As mentioned by others, it is pretty runny so definitely need to increase the cornflour and reduce the water. I am not sure the flavour is quite what I was after. When on the chicken, the sauce complimented it nicely but just on the rice it wasn't the flavour I hoped it would be. This should not be rated as medium to make, it is very easy. I might make again but with some tweaks to the recipe.

    I really liked this. Be careful though, my ginger was pretty thick, I thought I love ginger, so used the full 3cm, but this made it quite spicy, it tasted like lemon & ginger chicken. I'll definitely make this again, just with a touch less ginger. 

    Also, I increased the cornflour as recommended by others, I think that's a must
