Man oh man do I love chinese food chicken in Broccoli with the Garlic sauce. Does anyone have a simple recipe on just the sauce? Id like to start making this at home. I have chick and broc recipies and such but the sauce isnt as good as what I would get from a chinese food place. Anyone have anything that comes close?
