“Better than Any I've ever had. Went by recipe exactly only added Korean pepper flakes alongside of chili pepper 🌶 10 year old son said it was better than Panda express. Whole family including my 89 year old dad was raving over it. Thank you for sharing 1 Rocki” — a cook, 5.0★
“Love this recipe! The results were extremely delicious ! I used chicken breast and shallow fried the pieces instead of deep frying them. We had all the ingredients at home already so it was easy to make - my husband loved it.” — a cook, 5.0★
