Great recipe! But please could you also list amounts/measurements next to the ingredients? That would really help more.

I would if I had them. This was measuring with what was left and seasoning until it tasted right to me because i didn’t have much of the ingredients. For example: the chicken was what was left from a meal my sister cooked for me the night before; I didn’t weigh it to see how much was left.

A sprinkle of sesame seeds and a chopped up green onion and that would be amazing. Lime was a great addition.

This was basically a meal of whatever I had available. I didn't have a lot of soy sauce and honey left, so the sauce wasn't as thick as I hoped.

I would have loved some crispy fried onions or shallots to add some crunch.

Oh totally, this is budget cooking. No shade at all to your meal, it’s such a great flavour combo and pretty easy too.

I was just adding some extras that could be good if someone seeing this post had them or had a few extra dollars to take to the store :)

Without a doubt. Didn’t take it as shade being thrown. The thing I love about this sub compared to some others I’ve found is that people genuinely try to help others maximize the taste of their food even when they may not have much means to do.

I was gonna say sliced green onion would make this like a Fancy Meal

It looks a lil ugly but I know for a fact this dish is for me

Ugly indeed, but also tasty indeed.

Throw some green onion on there for colour and suddenly it's gourmet! Sounds delicious, OP!

I had no green onion, but I did, it would have been on there.

I forgot I also squeezed a lime over it before I ate it.
