    I have to say that having eaten this salad in California since the late 1960’s it NEVER included chicken that was breaded and fried. It is certainly delicious like that but the early versions were always made with grilled chicken. That was one reason it was so popular; grilled chicken was lower in calories and fat so the salad was something delicious while still fitting into a low-calorie diet. Californians were obsessed were obsessed with dieting because of the beach culture and the movie industry being located there.

    Some similar techniques to my oriental mandarin salad. Ginger, soy & sesame with a little orange juice as the acid. Mandarin segments cut in half to add sweet/acidity and some bursts of moisture Steam-fried noodles as the crunch. Almond slices can be candied to add more crunch/texture. Simple to put together, but a full meal 🙂 Thx Stephen!

    PS I love that peeler. I brought one back from Thailand. Used for Som Tum (green papaya salad)

    Japanese-style Katsu is king! I use Sonny's brining tech and flattening the thick end with a rolling pin in a bag to get even thickness. Although the thin version you do probably works better for a salad (and for stretching protein weight in a restaurant lol)

    Ya know I have watched a few of your videos but not made many although your turkey was outstanding. After watching this recipe you will be very happy to know I really think you know what you are doing. I really like Chinese chicken salad and your version is by far the best. Nicely done.

    Love the name of your channel and this recipe, just that I would first wash the lettuces, where I live if I don't do that I can get sick with some kind of bacteria or parasite. But other than that it looks delicious!

    I’ll be honest, thy way you keep claiming to be addicted to fairly average dishes is getting kinda annoying. I’ve watched nearly all your stuff, and you used to post incredible food, in a non commercial, non click bait way – that was your USP, and it was great. Cool guy, chill, in depth instructions on how to elevate food. I don’t mean to be a dick cos you’re great, but I’m not feeling the click bait stuff.
