  1. That looks SO-O-O good! A question: aren't a lot of people in Asia lactose intolerant? So doesn't the cheese and evaporated milk bother them?

    I will have to improvise with oat milk and some cashew milk yogurt for those dairy products because they REALLY bother me!

  2. My mom made the best soy sauce chicken, but she’s not here anymore and I never asked her how she made it. The sauce was thick and flavorful. I think it had star anise, ginger, and maybe some sugar. I would love to see you make that!

  3. they butchered this recipe to fit the palette of white folks. How disappointing. It's supposed to be baked on top of fried rice. Think of it as a chinese arroz con pollo.
    Look up other recipes on youtube if you want the real deal.

  4. So a Chinese casserole called Portuguese chicken that if I hadn't already been told where it's from I would have guessed it came from the Midwest united states. It looks awesome though and I'm definitely going to try it.

  5. We made this earlier this week. It was delicious! Then we served the leftovers for dinner again tonight. It was even better than the first night. Absolute heaven. I was asked to put it into the "rotation" so we can have it regularly…with enough for leftovers later in the week. Thank you so much for sharing your family's recipes.

  6. Given the curry powder in this recipe, it makes me think of "Singapore-style" curry rice noodles…the kind you get in many American Chinese restaurants with sliced char siu, shrimp, and vegetables. Would love to see your take on that dish! (…if you haven't posted one already!)

  7. Made this last night and followed the recipe to the letter and it was absolutely delicious! Served it over Basmati rice. Total comfort food and perfect for a chilly Autumn night. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

  8. This dish brings back memories of the Hong Kong’s “Cha Charn Teng” – diners which specialize in dishes with unique Chinese/western fusion flavors. It is creamy and tastes like a mild version of chicken curry suitable for those who can’t tolerate spicy hot food. Kids like this too.

  9. I was so excited, but got said when coconut milk came out, because I have a coconut allergy. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas what could be used in place of coconut milk (I imagine just dairy cream or milk would take the place as a liquid, but if there's anything else to get closer to the flavor effect, it would be helpful)?
