This is so weird… I'm watching America's Text Kitchen on TV and watching another episode on Youtube… Don't tell me I'm not a FAN…. LOL
(truthfully it was just a coincidence I turn the TV on and ATK was on too.
Thank you for making these great videos…
Gotta have hot chinese mustard and more soy sauce lol.
Excellent video. One of the few things I miss from Michigan is Almond Chicken. I've moved to Tennessee and tried to find it in multiple states to no avail. I will make this tomorrow.
Get rid of the lettuce and add mushrooms to the sauce.
I want a LOT of sauce on mine!!
One thing I must add is that the sauce was never a dark sauce it was just like the Chef here made it and it was served with rice on the side. I've not had a good plate of this in 15 years. Oh! to go back in time
Thank you so much. This is one of my favorite Chinese dishes, and yes I'm from Detroit
I’m from Ontario Canada every Chinese restaurant has this , it’s called almond soo gai!! With gravy on top it’s my favourite!!!!
Watching now, oh that’s how I do my fish batter, I thought it would be the same! 🙂 I always said it taste like fish n chip batter yummy, with gravy n slivered almonds on top
As a Detroiter, I never knew ABC was a Chinese food staple here. Guess I was too spoiled with it to try anywhere else lol
For years I worked at a Chinese restaurant in South East Michigan. This totally different then the recipe our restaurant had. We served our with a bed to lettuce but also white rice. The gravy we served was light tan and thicker. And the batter was more tempura texture know all recipes are different. Not bashing this one at all. It looks great. Happy cooking 🙂
If u went to the same ones that I grew up on in Columbus like jades, double dragon. The lantern they all served this dish and it was delicious and addicting.. lol I still drive over an hour away to the new jades but they all made the dish with a yellow sauce and I've been looking for that recipe for years and still no luck. I look forward to trying this one becausr it's the closest to it that I've seen yet. Thank u for this. Yum
I miss abc as I moved many years ago. I will make this. Thank you.
The chicken batter is awesome, I used seltzer water. I grew up in Michigan. I do not think the sauce is the same though. Close but not what I remember. Cathay House is where I’m used to. If anyone knows recipe for their gravy send it my way please.
I thought it was just brown gravy
4:58 accidentally dipped in the wet batter 😂
Most Asians use corn starch to dredge. Makes it crispy.
I have died and gone to heaven! My FAVORITE Chinese/American dish of all time. I was first introduced to this dish in1970 in Detroit (at a restaurant in the mini-Chinatown there—can't remember the name , at 75 years of age what can one expect 🙂 ) In my various travels across the country and in Canada for work I could only find this dish in the really older Cantonese restaurants of the Midwest. Christie—Millions of thank yous for this recipe. I am forever in your debt.
So happy to find tbis video. I grew up in the Detroit metro area and now live in Texas. I have been craving this for a while. Making some this weekend
We love this in Montana too.
I miss this stuff. I was born and raised in Columbus and ate this regularly (there was a great place at 161 and Karl rd). Then I moved to Seattle 10 years ago and haven't been able to find it since.
I first had this dish in the 80s in a Chinese restaurant here in Cleveland Ohio and it was called War Sue Gai. I love the taste of the green onions/ scallions.
One of my favorites from a family owned chinese restaurant in South Carolina of all places. Moved away from home, traveled up and we the east coast and never saw it anywhere else. Finally the owners of the restaurant retired and moved back to China and I had to look for a recipe to help myself. Had no idea this was a regional item, and I just happened to have access to it 1500 miles outside of that region.
