Chinese Velvet Chicken image

Souffléed chicken served with sugar snap peas & mushrooms over rice. I first found this recipe in 1985 in an old used cookbook (I think it was called Mrs. Wong's Chinese Cookbook). This recipe has been one of the most popular meals for my children and now my grandchildren. They are all grown up now, but they still call and ask for it.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was very flavorful. I would definitely make this again, but I would use less chili peppers next time.

This recipe was a disaster. The chicken was dry and tough, and the sauce was bland. I don't recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out great. The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, so I added a bit of soy sauce to balance it out. Overall, a very good recipe.
