Cooking tips

  • When frying the chicken, sear the skin side first to render the flavorful chicken fat, which deepens the sauce's taste.
  • If desired, add pre-soaked glass noodles along with the vegetables at the final stage for a more substantial dish.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a new style of braised chicken that is not sweet, but clean, savory, and spicy.
  • Those who want to experience the authentic, deep flavor of Chinese cuisine at home.
