    My man’s got a perfect voice. That is a confident, comforting baritone. It had me thinking that after the recipe, he was going to report the traffic and weather on the 8s.

    Love these two gentlemen!! My favorite moment was when Kevin suggested they go a little faster when breading the chicken and Dad said "patience". It was such a gentle reminder. Just lovely!
    Can't wait to try this with cubed, breaded and fried tofu.

    Yes, we want son and pop together in more videos!!! Love this dynamic, while proud mom sat in the background. This took out all the mystery of making this meal. Looks so easy. Will definitely give it a go. This is my favorite meal, along with Mongolian Beef. Shrimp with Walnuts and Spicy Eggplant also works. I miss the great PuPu Platter appetizers with the little hibachi, Crab Rangoon, Egg Rolls or Spring Rolls and Shrimp Toast, Sticky Pork Rib...and some authentic hotter-than-hot chili oil would be great.

  • @jeffridder4034
    @jeffridder4034 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    When he was removing the fried chicken, I was waiting for father to hit son’s hands with the chopsticks, a la the 70’s Shaw Brothers training montage scenes. LOVE the interplay between them, and I will be making this recipe.
