Wanna learn how to make Chinese Takeout General Tso's chicken at home? Check out this video: https://youtu.be/Dv19_rYCpfQ

Coming from someone who has had lots of experience making egg rolls I have to say that this is a very good instructional because of the attention to detail with clear easy to follow visuals. The only thing that I do differently is use 325 degrees F instead of 350F. It takes a secobds more but you have better control over the browning process. At 350F the skins can get dark fast and overcook. Again, great video! Thanks.

I have to give it to you, this recipe is hands down the best egg roll recipe I've seen.
-
We live in an area with not one decent Asian restaurant. We are so grateful for your fastidious videos. One thing that I must say is that when I gather ingredients and use your recipes per your advice, I have complete confidence that I will prepare a delicious dish. Now that makes cooking so much more enjoyable. Thank you Thank you!

Now that we have hit Fried Rice, Tso's and Egg Rolls I feel like a Crab Rangoon special is needed. Alternatively you could hit hot-and-sour soup or Gyoza. Great content as always.
-
Best egg roll recipe on here. It is concise, you cover all the mistakes and how to avoid them and I don't have to listen to the history of food to learn how to do this properly. A big thank you.
-
Made this along with egg drop soup. You guys.. IT WAS AMAZING. You have just set a new standard for egg rolls and soup. Definitely worth every minute. My boyfriend was gobsmacked it was so delicious. We sat in silence for most of the meal because we were so absorbed into the food.
-
Hey, just wanted to say that I'm super grateful for all the work you put into these videos. You've genuinely changed my life for the better, not to mention the lives of all the unfortunate souls who had to eat my cooking before I found your channel! You're the best, and if there's anything I can do just say the word.
Thank you, thank you, thank you again! -
The potato ricer was a genius move.

I new a guy that was a fruit inspector in the port of Newark. One of his areas of expertise was apricot inspection. If the incoming apricots would not make it to market before spoiling, he called the duck sauce people, a couple of factories also in jersey.
-
The ground pork shortcut is brilliant and exactly what I needed to bother making these at home. Keep it up!

TYVM, chef.
after 30+ years of working in Asia as an Exec Chef/F&B Manager, and serving 1,000s of Egg Rolls and Spring Rolls a week in some of the hotels (with traditional Chinese or Thai Resturant outlets) i have to say, once again you have nailed the technique and your watch points are spot on.
BTW: i use the same fryer that you have in thios video. going on 5 years now and it's still going striong. -
Absolutely love all of your videos. The care, research and knowledge that goes into each recipe is impressive. I have tried the lo mein, the fried rice and today will try the general tso’s chicken. Thank you for all you do. 🙏
-
I just made a double batch of this recipe, subbing the pork for ground chicken, and it was hands down the best egg roll recipe I’ve ever made. Now I have a bunch in the freezer for later dinners, which is never a bad thing. Thanks so much for the awesome recipe! You’ve got a new subscriber!
-
Dude, you’re a legend. My home cooking has gotten so much better since watching your videos. Not just the asian dishes but your tips carry over into other styles of cooking.

I once made egg rolls and they were the best egg rolls I've ever had. Sadly, they took so much work (at least for a first-timer) that I chose never to make them again. Instead, I will spend my life strictly reminiscing about the unbelievable flavor. I went whole-hog by making Char Sui, and I used carrots, nappa cabbage, green onions and bean sprouts. OMG!
-
Your general Tsos chicken recipe and fried rice changed my life! I've literally been meal prepping it for the past two weeks haha. I've never made more authentic tasting Asian food in my life!

If you've ever loved chinese takeout more than anything else but also like homecooked, this channel is for you.
This is my favorite cooking channel. Chinese takeout is my favorite, but I also appreciate that you try out different things and let us know what works best. I also like the casual, informative vibe. -
Seeing what is needed to create these, gives me a new appreciation for one of my favorite chinese dishes.
-
I appreciate your clear instructions and the specific details of he products you use.
Video Ideas:
1. Egg Foo Young
2. Moo Goo Gai Pan
3. A Chinese Shopping Guide of products; sauces, herbs, and produce.
4. A Mushroom/Fungi Guide for Fresh and Dried. Maybe just the top 5; Shiitake, Wood Ear, Enoki, etc.
5. Soups: Top 5: Egg Drop, Wonton, Hot & Sour, Coconut, ...
6. Use of Chinese Veggies: Bok Choy, Cabbage, Mushrooms, Eggs,...
