This stir-fry was a disaster. I followed the recipe exactly, but the chicken was tough and the pumpkin was raw. The sauce was also way too salty. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This was the worst stir-fry I've ever had. The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the pumpkin was mushy. The sauce was also bland and tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I wasn't a big fan of this stir-fry. The chicken was tough and the pumpkin was undercooked. The sauce was also a bit too sweet for my taste. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This stir-fry was a bit bland for my taste, and the pumpkin wasn't caramelized as much as I would have liked. However, the chicken was tender and the sauce was flavorful. With a few tweaks, this could be a great recipe.

I made this stir-fry for dinner last night and it was delicious! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the pumpkin was perfectly caramelized. The sauce was also very good. I will definitely be making this again.

I made this stir-fry last night and it was delicious! I used chicken thighs instead of breasts, and I added some extra ginger and garlic. The sauce was amazing, and the chicken and pumpkin were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again
