Cooking tips
- Mixing chili oil with the chicken from the start, rather than adding it at the end, makes the chicken remarkably tender.
- Since this dish is very spicy and salty, adding ample sugar helps balance the overall flavor.
- Do not cook the onion with the chicken initially, as it will release water and lose its crunch—always sauté it separately and add at the end.
Recommended for
- Those who want to enjoy restaurant-quality Ma La stir-fry at home with ease.
- People looking for bold, spicy appetizers to pair with baijiu or beer.
