Whisk together. Add garlic, ginger, Diabetisweet, 1/4 cup soy sauce and rice wine vinegar. Then add chicken broth and stir all together until Diabetisweet dissolves. Refrigerate until needed. To Prepare Chicken: In a separate bowl, combine chicken, 1/2 cup soy sauce and pepper. Stir in egg. Add 1 cup carbquik and stir until chicken is evenly coated.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Positive aspects of the product (pros): tasty Cons: see below I thought the sauce was a bit oily. I might try making the sauce with not starch instead of the carbquik. The chicken part came out fine, and overall, the flavor was very good..."chines-ey"...not too much of that carbquik after taste. We did almost double the ginger root and used eryhtritol instead of the diabetis sweet.
