This recipe needs something! It is really bland and no flavor. Not anything that I would make again!!

I was so excited to try this recipe and it was ok but lacked the "punch" or flavor of take out sesame chicken. I don't know what it was missing but it was a "so-so" meal. So disappointed!!

This was really easy to make but could use a little more flavor. I would add some spice next time and double the sauce recipe
