I’m so glad to hear it’s a family favorite! Your modifications sound fantastic, and I’m thrilled to know your husband enjoyed the changes even more. Thanks for sharing your tips and for continuing to enjoy the recipe! 🙂

This has been a family favorite of mine for quite a while. I used to make it per the recipe except I use dried parsley and no sesame seeds because I usually make this last minute and don’t have those ingredients. It still turns out delicious.
I do the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce and we serve with rice and steamed broccoli.
The last few times I have made this, I followed a suggestion from another review about subbing sriracha for ketchup. I do about half and half, maybe a tad more sriracha. And then I add a little extra honey..
My husband enjoyed it before but after the changes, raved about how much better it was.

I had hope that this would taste good, but the sauce wasn’t.
