On a side note, if you wanna replicate the take-out style, just up the meat+veggie amount or reduce the eggs used to reach a consistency of a "thick batter", then use a ladle to scoop the "egg batter" (one ladle per piece at a time) to a shallow pan with a decent amount of oil, semi deep fry it till it sets, flip to fry the other side for a bit and take it out, then add the sauce to it (sauce recipe is in the reddit post that'll be posting later tonight~)
