Comments:

I'd have to say my favorite entree at Panda Express is the Mushroom Chicken. (The Orange Chicken probably would be my favorite, but it has 3x as many calories!) I was at Panda Express the other night getting dinner for the missionaries, and ever since, I've been wanting Mushroom Chicken. I could really only find one recipe on the Internet, and this was it. . .luckily it is GOOD! (We doubled the amounts of soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and ginger to make extra sauce.) Definitely going to be a regular at our house!
