This is just one of the reasons you need to do more Cook with Mikey vids. We missed this.

[@ReidGameX]

"My Kitchen with Mikey Chen" has a good ring to it for a web series....

[@qianse22]

Indeed it does

[@iishilpisinhaii]

Omg yes!!

[@reneportal542]

@Netflix come on dudes.

[@DemonFox369]

Agreed

[@TheMrCC21]

But "Cook with Mikey" is his series...

[@marlenadeadrick6770]

Literally the best recipe I’ve ever used. Was trying to chase that freshness of this dish that I found when visiting New York. I found it here!! I’ve made this 3 times, tripled the recipe for guests and EVERYONE is amazed. Ty for sharing

[@dracula400]

"I like to use so much garlic that if Dracula came through the door he'd stake himself" Cmon now Mike, you are really gonna do me like that.

[@Lilliputian722]

Hahaha! 😂

[@LtDanWithLegs]

Laugh out loud

[@JerryB507]

Sorry Dude. I know that Bram Stoker guy did you dirty with his biased and one sided story, but I love my garlic.

[@dracula400]

@@JerryB507 I mean I can understand, garlic is hard to resist even I can't even though it hurts me, physically.

[@rznstudios9065]

Wow, I just made this and it was great, thank you for this recipe. My plan is to next time make a double batch and freeze like Trader Joe's does with their orange chicken. I'll cook it down to the point where you fry the chicken for 1 minute at 375, and I'll make the sauce down to where it is almost reduced. I freeze both separately, and when I am ready to eat it, I'll throw the chicken in the pan with a little oil, cook it for a few minutes, then pour in the sauce and cook it down together until ready to eat. Hopefully, it works as it is very tasty. The hardest part of the recipe, is as you said, the prep. This way, hopefully, if I am in the mood for sesame chicken, I can have it prepped and ready in the freezer, and will be able to eat it in about 10 minutes.

[@erikaserika]

Now that we're on the topic of "American-Chinese Restaurant foods that our Chinese parents don't want us eating," ...can we please get a recipe for buffet fried rice?

[@koffeinx6738]

Make standard fried rice and add a metric ton of msg to it. If you feel fancy, add an egg or two

[@ebymodebelu]

I have every ingredient on the list, time to get in that kitchen! 😋

[@mordeys]

if you have the extra time and chicken cut and dress the chicken. lay it on a metal sheet pan so its not touching and freeze. when its frozen just pack it in meal sized portions and put back in the freezer. pull it out and use from that state. makes 'take out' night way simpler and easier to clean up after. all the messy work is already done.

[@rznstudios9065]

This. Going to try and make a batch like Trader Joe's orange chicken, where all I gotta do is throw the chicken in a pan, warm it, then add the sauce and eat.

[@irena-talita]

You are the best Mikey💕 I absolutely love this recipe not only is the chicken extra crispy but it spicy and you even posted the recipe ingredients ❤️🥰thank you so much I am making this …x

[@fadingdandelion4792]

I would love to see a whole Playlist that includes Buffet foods... you are so good at walking us thru the process.. awesome video. My roll up and chips has officially lost its appeal.

[@austinuden1872]

I made this with pork instead of chicken tonight and my roommate and I both loved it, I used fresh Thai chilies instead of dried and it definitely could have used more, but that is more of a learning step than anything else

[@someonesomewhere2100]

Doesnt sound lame, sounds sooooo kickass.... how many kids have a buffet to eat at everyday!!! so cool

[@misterinternational]

I moved abroad from the US and have been craving some good old western bastardized Chinese food and this was spot on what I've been trying to find for years. Thanks Mikey

A Mikey cooking video? Sesame chicken?? This day just got a whole lot better 🐔🤗

[@DarDarBinks1986]

Sometimes all you need is sesame chicken or General Tso's chicken. It's my go-to Chinese dish.

[@ghostsy]

yay another cook with Mikey vid :)

[@keithmullins6672]

I've got a local Chinese restaurant that does a lot of the normal Chinese restaurant dishes, but actually improved them. Items that your regular run of the mill, same menu Chinese joints use that say a dish is spicy but actually lie about it, this joint makes SPICY!!! Take the Hunan Chicken. This ain't anywhere close to the "normal" Chinese joint stuff. This has only 4 ingredients: chicken in a spicy sauce, fried red chilies, onion slices, and HOT green chilies (I think shishito peppers). That's IT! And it's spicy as hell. They have scallion pancakes (don't order on delivery as they get soggy in the container), dumplings are AWESOME - just dip in some low sodium soy sauce + Mike's crispy garlic hot oil. The egg drop soup is not thin and runny, it's actually got a little body to it, like they added some potato or corn starch to it. Egg rolls aren't very greasy. Chicken on the sticks aren't nearly as overcooked and dry like the other joints.

[@MegaBabykitten]

Hi from Ottawa Canada please stay safe wow Thé best chicken Ben Forever so happy 😍 you upload please upload more i will make this one Next one is Rice in lotus leaf My favorite dish ever😍

[@heatherheichou]

Loving the unintentional spoken pun when Mikey says he'll walk us through deep frying then proceeds to tell us we'll need two woks 👀

[@toren2099]

You see what I do is just buy the sauce from a nearby Chinese restaurant(insert think about it meme) and just make the chicken and bam easy college hack

[@KristiesLexicon]

Yum

[@der23]

Oooh I have everything but the cooking wine! (And the Chiles but it's okay I'll just cry myself to sleep over it) I need to make this!

[@mariannakump8857]

Sesame and Generals chicken are my favorite occasional Chinese take out treats. It makes me sad that people who cooked these for a living feel they are practically toxic. I guess they need to be banished from my list. 🥺

[@keithmullins6672]

And they need to quit lying about it being spicy on the menu. It never is, even when I ask for it to be spicy. I've gotten a few free meals from Chinese joints because I confront them about it not being spicy and how it doesn't match what the menu says.
