Note

For a richer flavor, you can substitute half the water with chicken broth.

If using fresh peaches, slice them and simmer with a little sugar and water until soft before proceeding with the sauce.

Water chestnuts add a unique crunchy texture; ensure they are well-drained if using canned.

This dish pairs well with steamed broccoli or green beans for a balanced meal.
