Now this I have to try.... Is it real rich tasting? It sounds like it would be... can I use low salt soy?


That sounds just amazing - and I LOVE goji berries! I like to add them in my salads or cookies, but never thought of adding them to my meat sauces. I hope to try this one very soon...great post - thank you!


Sounds very interesting....I can't imagine that much sesame oil, but with the vinegar and soy sauce??? I'll bet it all balances out. TY, NakedChef.


This sounds sound very intriguing. Will be making this one soon. Love all the ingredients.


Sounds great but what are goji berries and where do you get them?


This dish tastes good, and chinese believe that because of the sesame oil and ginger and chiken it's good for our health. the original recipe doesn't use goji berries but my friend's mom add goji berries in her 3 cup chicken, it's great. goji berries is availabble at chinese herb store or asian stores, and yes low salt soy sauce works perfect for this recipe, try and good luck


It's rich tasting and it's great with steamed rice. my grandma says that goji berries are good for eyes, sesame oil and ginger are good for our body in winter especially for women :)


Usually oriental basil/Thai basil is added to this dish... You should try adding some. There's a big difference :D

The goji berries is an interesing addition. I'll try it next time I make this dish :)


Thanks patty, I think I should add oriental basil in this recipe, it'll taste a lot better.
my aunt adds goji berries and gallons of rice wine in her 3 cups chicken, it's good


I am really excited about this recipe. Can you substitute goji berries with something else?
