    Thankful you don't speak over your dad. It helps my bilingual family a lot to hear both the Cantonese and the English translation. English translations are really good, but always, the Cantonese will have more nuance a translation cannot capture, and we are able to cross check the info with what we remember (in Cantonese) growing up. Thank you for letting us into Gong Gong Lau's kitchen. Wishing your family good health and joy!

    Regarding S&S without batter. Most brits (and I think most Europeans) often omit the batter when we make it. It was most commonly made using leftover chicken from the Sunday roast when I was growing up 😆 and most ready meals in stores are just cooked chicken in the sauce/vegetables too. Most of the time frying the chicken balls is seen as to much work (takeaways still use chicken balls though)

    Your fad is a great chef. worked at many fine Asian restaurants. That includes Cantonese, Hunan. Szewan. (sorry it is spelled wrong.) I like hearing him.speak in him native language. The Chefs in the kitchen always spoke Chinese. I miss that at times I have always loved the Oriental neighborhoods in America. So much tallent Asians have. I think in so many ways they are more peaceful than Americans. They share together to help each other. Until they all are able to have business's of their own. Many here in Minnesota USA became my personal friends. They taught me to cook. I made them practice english. Then they were able to get better jobs. My father fought in WW2 with the chinese to conquer Japan to keep them from taking parts of China. He worked beside the chinese people to get Chinas land back. Most of those men in that company were killed in action starved to death or accidentally died on the steep mountains of Burma. The Asians kept them.alive sharing their meager rice allotments. I know this is long. I just want to thank you and your people who i love dearly. 😢❤😊❤🎉

They didn't have anything remotely like tbis sauce or ketchup. This recipe uses an American product because it's not from China. It's from the freaking UK. Stop it.
