I have avoided making my own Chinese takeout style food for many reasons: too much prep, steps and frying. But mostly the frying part. Than, I saw this recipe on the Brown Eyed Baker. My mouth began salivating just looking at the pictures. So I decided to get over my aversion to frying and make it. Yeah, I was right. A lot of work but it made a lot of food and it was delicious. I'll try to kick up the spice next time I make it. On a spiciness scale from one to ten I give it a 1. I have a feeling that my red pepper is old so my fault. I'll buy some dried red chilies from the Asian market before making it again. I may regret that decision! Spicy doesn't agree with me. But it burns so good!
