When I make the kids home made chicken nuggets I do, flour first, then egg, then breadcrumbs, as it helps bind the breadcrumbs, but for the recipe I mentioned above, I have tried both ways and the egg makes no difference, dunno if it is because you use rice flour rather than just normal though.

Cade Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Deep fried salt&chilli beancurd (comes with tons of sliced chillies and spring onions, it's fiery, salty and deeply savoury. Crispy outside and creamy inside) Plain chow mein (noodles, bean sprouts, onions, soy sauce) Mix these two together. 3rd choice I'd have to say mini spring rolls filled with duck meat and served with hoisin dipping sauce Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The chicken was in this sticky sort of dark red/orange coloured sauce much like sweet and sour, but had a little kick to it. I don't like sweet and sour, but I loved this stuff. Had it in a couple of other places though and it's never been like that. Been in a darker, brown sauce, not much kick to it. Kung Po should be as you described first time - quite similar to sweet and sour but with a spicy kick. Kung Po King Prawn is great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

After a quick google search it appears it is no longer in business. Jong Po Chicken Dice chicken breasts into cubes, roll in rice flour and fry Fry large chopped onion pieces, tin of bamboo shoots, water chestnuts in a wok Add in chicken pieces Add Hoi Sin sauce (have tried loads, Blue Dragon works best with this recipe) Anyone who likes Peking Duck will love this It’s still opened mate it’s my Chinese takeaway of choice as others don’t come close in my opinion.
