Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Pounding the meat thins it out, which helps retain moisture, resulting in a tender and juicy texture after frying, rather than dry.
  • When applying the batter, if the starch and egg white layers are too thick, they can become gummy. Apply thinly so the meat is slightly visible.
  • Black vinegar was used in the video, but it can make the sauce too dark. If you want a cleaner visual, using regular brewed vinegar is recommended.
  • Adding a tablespoon of chicken stock or beef stock to the sauce can easily create the deep, savory flavor characteristic of restaurant dishes.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy restaurant-style Guobaorou at home, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  • Those looking for a special fried sauce recipe that is sweet, sour, and deeply savory.
  • Those who want to make a high-quality snack dish at home that pairs well with beer or baijiu.
