I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the chicken with tofu. It turned out great!

This recipe is a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I added more garlic and ginger to the sauce, and I used a different type of vinegar.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, but overall the dish was still good.
