I made this today. It came out delicious. Two notes: adding chunks of welsh onion to the sauce makes it even nicer and -- if you've got too much batter, as I had, because, well, measuring is hard, adding a little sugar to the leftover and then frying it in the hot oil between first and second fry will make for a delicious sweets course.

In Asian culture it’s so culturally accepted that your parents will tell you you’re too skinny if you don’t eat enough (and it’s disrespectful if you reject their food) but also call you fat when they feed you too much. How many times has your parents called you fat and how do you deal with it?

As an HK-born Australian, now living in Seattle, I can see the spread of the Cantonese diaspora, but also its dilution in many places around the world. I find your work very encouraging and important to sharing my own background and culture🥳 (e.g. the shopping with parents at Costco/99 Ranch was just like shopping with my own parents lol)

Made this with the red bean pork belly yesterday along with air fryer fries (I'm weird). Wife had rice. Halved both recipes. This one was very good but too sweet for me. The chicken was very juicy at +165 F. I regret not cooking longer for more crunch though, but it didn't make that much of a difference anyway. I would however suggest to first add a third of the sugar and taste. Add more and adjust. I used probably half of the sugar and it was still too sweet. I used costco jarred fire cooked green and red bell peppers that have a little sugar. Those bell peppers are bomb if you see them (new item and huge portions jammed into the jars). I also used a jalapeno, some thai dried red chilis and home pressed garlic. I will definitely make tweak this recipe to perfection.

When you say light soy sauce, i have low salt soy, regular soy and dark soy… is there a fourth light? Tried this tonight first time. Flavor if the sauce seemed very strong and concentrated. Maybe for my taste I need more water and maybe if there is a light soy that is not just low salt… will check. Live where there is no good NYC style Chinese that I have grown up on and used to. Got a few things down, really want to stick this, smelled so right in the pan… LOVE YOU GUYS!! Thanks❤❤
