Recently scientists have shown that MSG can have very annoying effects on certain people, including headaches, asthma, etc. I can attest to its effects. As far as I'm concerned, if you want to "spice it up", avoiding MSG and increasing the hot pepper content is the way to go. Also, Bon Bon chicken is much more preferable if one leaves out the "filler" often served under it (cucumber, noodles, etc.) Just chicken slices smothered in the sauce. The sauce is better if the peanut butter content is increased. Other than these few items, your recipe looks quite good and similar to the one I have just about every week at HSINAN THE LITTLE in Palo Alto, generally recognized by Arpanet folks as the best Chinese restaurant in the universe, courtesy of Louie Ko.
