I will. Thank you
I am curious what would make this more like a traditional Chinese dish. Is it the inclusion of brown sugar which makes this Americanized? A friend told me once that real Chinese food is not as sweet and sometimes much spicier than the average American is used to.
Long time listener, first time caller—I made this for dinner tonight and OH MY GOD it’s phenomenal. Absolutely delicious. The whole fam agrees this recipe is a keeper!
I love your shirt and skin tone Mandy. I wonder if you could write the dishes as being hot spicy not so spicy 😊
I love the coating technique, will definitely give this a try
Does this have any relation to an actual Chinese dish? I know many Chinese restaurants in the US sweetened up more traditional dishes to suit the American palette (e.g., General Tsao chicken), so I always wonder.
I love your videos and your recipes…
However,
I've come to realize "BETTER THAN TAKEOUT" tends to mean "NOTHING LIKE TAKEOUT"
Every time I order Chinese food, I order the same thing… 'Beef Chow Mein', 'Crispy Shredded chilli Beef' and 'Honey lemon chicken'…
I have searched for years to find recipes that match my takeout order so i can make it at home.
(It's actually how i found this channel, looking for honey lemon chicken, which you do a lovely recipe for)
But all i ever find is apparently "BETTER THAN TAKEOUT"… I would love to see someone try to replicate takeout, instead of trying to better it…
People like takeout, Thats why we order it.

👍👍👍👍👍👍 Thank you Mandy !! Good to see you and your presentations are always appreciated and we look forward to listening to each and every one of them.—Michigan
I watched your VIDEO but I still dont know what to COOK for dinner😟
I give you a thumbs up before watching thanks
I know I need corn starch for the marinade, but for the frying can I use rice flour instead of cornstarch?
Congratulations Mandy for 1.8M+ Subs! Thanks for another easy can-do recipe.💜
Excellent 🤤🔥
I adore your videos but I have a child who needs to follow a low carb diet. Would you consider making some videos with low carb recipes?

This is exactly what most Americans enjoy
