Description

The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Of course, this recipe can hardly be called authentic Chinese chicken. First of all, real Chinese cooks would add a huge amount of pepper, making the dish so spicy that most Russians probably wouldn't be able to eat it. Believe me—I've tried a similar dish in China, in a restaurant specifically for tourists where the food is intentionally made milder. Even then, my eyes were watering for half an hour after tasting it, and my mouth was burning almost all day. Secondly, Chinese recipes usually include many spices and ingredients that are simply hard to find in Russia. Therefore, this recipe for Chinese-style chicken is the simplest one, adapted to the taste and budget of an average Russian. Of course, if you wish, you can add various Chinese spices and seasonings—this will make it even tastier. But I'm sharing the most basic version of Chinese-style chicken, with nothing extra—just the essentials. Well, enough talking—let's get started with the recipe :) Good luck with your cooking! I hope you'll enjoy it. The finished dish can now be served.
