[@mstrawder66]

Hello! Can I use regular sugar instead?

[@dragonfangs7646]

I love how you convey your message with your hand gestures☺️

[@michellem3huynh]

The more I cook like you, the more my husband loves me!

[@nehemiahmccrearynm]

explain recipe and seasoning very well love her videos

[@imniims]

oooh. its quite similiar to my mother's recipe but instead, she crushes lots of garlic and a tiny bit of ginger. mix it with the chicken along with sweet soy, salty soy sauce, oyster sauce, a pinch of tumeric powder, brown sugar, ground black pepper and some salt. let it marinate for some time and fry it up. best fry it at low to medium heat for a glossy chicken. ughhh my mouth is watering as i'm writing this

[@awkwrdtomato]

done this several time, my family love itt , thanks a lot !!

[@julietdelacruz2492]

Ur menu are so simple..so easy to cook...thanks

[@patriciaingraldi4719]

Excellent recipe and great demonstration. Thank you so much. You're adorable.

[@thansinan9677]

Thank you sister for teaching .

[@jenniemao3549]

another great recipe. I just made this tonight for dinner and it was simple, quick, and super easy. I followed the recipe verbatim, even though the protein only marinaded for 20 minutes, the taste was spot on. During the week when you're short on time, try this and you won't regret it. Thank you yet again for sharing.

[@cynthiaong5277]

Thank you for this lovely recipe. Awesome and my family loves it. Didn't know chicken cooks faster just by frying without water and so flavoursome. Will cook this again.

[@aewe7120]

I love ginger. I have been cooking Ginger Soy Chicken for many years using ginger slices. It was very good but I have never thought of using minced ginger. For my dinner tonight, I tried exactly what you have shown on this video. It tasted so much better with the MINCED GINGER!!! Thank you so much Pai .

[@user-rh9vz5nr3f]

That's good. I am a vegetrian but I do not eat ginger as likely as you.

[@zapusama67]

Thanks! Love your channel!! Green curry chicken was first, now this. I bought fresh ginger and wanted "ginger chicken". You were the first on the list... done! I didn't have the last two soy ingredients, so I subbed oyster sauce and black bean (for the sweet, salty and color) and scallions in place of cilantro (I do love cilantro) AMAZING!!

[@bobstone5325]

yummy love garlic and ginger im definately gonna try this

[@dandavid7708]

I made this and mixed in some rice noodles. Turned out GREAT!! Even with stir fry veggies.

[@erocka78]

Had this last night for dinner! Great recipe and as you said! EASY and DELICIOUS!

[@cherrie1415]

ever since I started watching your chanel I've begun saving coriander stems :) thanks!

[@JoeryDuco1]

A tasty dish from a beautiful cook. Thank you. 🥰

[@JC-on8bk]

My favourite dish

[@hydranjablooms9093]

your measuring cups are soooo.. cute!!!

[@TheGirlNemo]

This is so easy, surely I'm gonna try it 😊👍

[@emma9sachi]

Yum! Making this right Now!

[@schang4458]

OMG I have been craving this for some reason. My mother couldn't remember what I'm talking about. I got so lucky I fell on this recipe going through your video list.

[@wontonmin6481]

Awesome dish look really simple iam definitely making this for lunch tomorrow. Thanks!!!

[@lanceschmidt3047]

I really enjoy watching your videos and trying the recipes and cooking techniques. This dish is definitely a keeper! I doubled the recipe and had the same problem as Kouglizia with the chicken releasing a lot of water. At least I know how to improve next time. Keep the videos coming - I'm a big fan!

[@Touilee]

Making this for thanksgiving

[@LoveYouforever91]

Im so trying this thank youuu

[@mr.pineapplethe1219]

[@cdwfitnessyt]

[@pearlexi]

Looks soo yummy! Def gonna make it!

[@tvc15tvc15]

It was delicious, thanks!

[@Mienarrr]

I just made this (sort of, had to change the special soy sauces to what I had) but it's delicious!

[@ZoukDanceClub]

Glad I found your channel. Subscribed and Liked both of your youtube and fb.. :)

[@rastapopolous8446]

Is this called chase the wind...im now having in singapore its my fav food along with lod chong desert

[@scartao8990]

Love your show! I have a request can you make Gaeng Hang Lay?

[@rocket7697]

+Chong Lor I hope. I saw this made on a TV show years ago in a Northern Thai village, very close to Burma border. Burmese pork curry is second to none.

[@Piyopung]

I don't know why but I always ended up here watching your video starving //cry Anyway, I would recommend going for a 'how to cook Jasmine rice' video. Cooking a perfect aromatic soft jasmine rice is every chef's magic tricks :P. I'd like to learn one of yours too. hehe I'm Thai btw

[@eldubs]

Hi pai, I noticed in your book you forgot to add the black soy sauce to the marinade instructions although it is listed in the ingredients list! I love your Book, Channel and always double check by watching and reading your recipes. Thank you so much for your hardwork. Nothing but respect to you!

[@AdamHotThaiKitchen]

Thanks so much for this! I've just sent this on to her so she can check it out ... you're the best!! :) Adam

[@PailinsKitchen]

Thanks! Adam sent this on to me and I'm looking into it - much appreciated!

[@annimatsumoto3863]

I didn't know the sauce you're using. Is this one better or do you also use the Healthy Boy Brand sauce for cooking?

[@hevalsaeed]

You need to make a video with your grandma 👵🏼❤️

[@tmnprlsaicntr]

It's the Chinese New Year Season...I'm very inspired to cook the same dish but replace the chicken with mock pork instead. I really don't know why but once I cook it I will snap a photo and share it with you Pai!

[@azmanchowdhury7075]

Hi Pai. I learnt so much from your channel. I mixed two of your recipes and got something great. I cooked the ginger soy chicken and mixed it with the ginger soy sauce you made for Pla Neung See Ew. The result: Total Yummm! Looking for some steamed chicken recipe

[@PailinsKitchen]

Sounds delish!

[@marioavaughn]

Would basil work instead of cilantro?

[@Mint2855]

can I substitute soy sauce for coconut aminos?

[@dianurfa_]

can i use bone-in whole chicken drumsticks & thighs instead? also, i have a bottle of sweet soy sauce which ingredients are sugar and mollasses. is it the same as the black soy sauce?

[@jirahmaepatawaran3112]

can i use brown sugar or coconut sugar instead?

[@chileBeast]

I'm going to be making this for supper tonight ... sort of. FROG LEGS! I am excited ... ye-haaaa! Thanks a bunch for another great video. Have a wonderful day Palin!

[@ams30gts]

PailinsKitchen For the regular soy sauce, can I use the lite soy sauce I have from your other recipes? Also, can I substitute Maggie for the Golden Mountain Sauce?

[@bigdaddynasty69]

question could you use mushroom flavored soy sauce in place of dark soy sauce ?

[@CalvinX]

That's what I did! YUMMY

[@aewe7120]

Excellent Video!!!

[@user-rh9vz5nr3f]

I think you have a good cooking methods. Thank you very much for your cooking guide and technique.. Please show me another cooking method/ technique, if you haver it. Thanks in advance for your kind video again !!!

[@swannytd]

Add a splash of fish sauce, looks delicious.

[@asianleo24]

Hi pai, where did u get those cute little cups with the sauces in the beginning of the video? Thanks I love your recipes btw. Can u make a Thai dipping sauce that has tomatoes and ground pork or ground chicken? I had it before at a friends house and idk what it's called...lol but it was amazing to eat with fresh cucumbers and other steamed veggies:)

[@PailinsKitchen]

+asianleo24 Those came from IKEA :)

[@ilocanoboi734]

hi Pai... can you also do this with beef?? always love your videos.. thanks

[@PailinsKitchen]

ilocanoboi73 I think so, I'd never tried but I don't see why not! Just make sure you choose a tender cut.

[@nawabahmed5400]

Thanks 👍 good idea!

[@peterstang]

I think this dish is more Chinese than Thai Which is equally good.

[@eliasmicheal262]

Love this! No need for me to go to the store lol.

[@sridevikondapalli9653]

can I substitute chicken with tofu?

[@rashn2065]

Hi Pai, this dish looks so good, but if I also want to add veges to chicken then what is the best time to do that?

[@Doughnutthanwarin]

May I answer please. It depends on what veg you want to put in. If its hard/think veg like you should put it while the chinken still uncook on the inside but if it soft veg, just put it when the chicken is nearly cook. And it will come out perfectly balance. Sometimes I put veg first if I'd like to cut it in big and think pieces!

[@kiatlow9700]

Pai, there is another variation to this dish that my mum makes. You can still use the left over worship chicken and cook it as you did but towards the end she added heaps of Chinese rice wine. Which Chinese rice wine? well, different style of wine give different accent to the dish. I think the type she used is "Fan chow" in Cantonese. There is also another style of wine that they call rose wine "Mui Kwai Low" also in Cantonese. This wine is an ingredient in making Dried Chinese sausages (Lup Cheong). Try it and try it in different style of wine.

[@jasonathon]

How much flavor does palm sugar bring to this dish?

[@MaZEEZaM]

Ive not been able to find the Black soy sauce in Australia, I have found the Mountain sauce but only in a few online shops and would make an expensive purchase just for one item.

[@VanLe-ex8hr]

Yoou can find them at most of asian grocery stores at springvale, Footscray or sunshine... cheers

[@sulasno]

Good for leftover chicken

[@sunnyirenes]

my mom literally JUST made this last night and i was wondering what this dish was called!

[@Naamtok]

My Girlfriend's mother cooks this for me often, I love it. Great recipe Pai - I will try it out on her and see if she approves!

[@mstrawder66]

Can I use regular sugar and also just regular soy sauce?

[@adamthehtkminion6750]

Yep! Will taste a bit different but will work :) Cheers! Adam

[@fernforfun]

I know it's not Thai food, but can I request 'General Tso Chicken'? pleeeeeeeeaaaaaassssssse!

[@roneomatrix]

You did not mention the time U need to cook this dish .. it would be great if U let us know that

[@adamthehtkminion6750]

Hi! You can get that info (mostly) from the written recipe linked above - however admittedly the new recipe plugin we use (this recipe is 6 years old and uses the old one) is better at that :) Cheers! Adam

[@kristinep_xo5758]

What can you use instead of dark soy sauce?

[@AdamHotThaiKitchen]

Hi! It's mostly just for colour, so if you don't have it leave it out. Cheers! Adam

[@stevenmay2937]

she is the best. amd beautiful to boot

[@rossgalan7457]

Why do yous say 'coriander' when referring to the seeds and 'cilantro' when referring to the fresh coriander. Are these two DIFFERENT herbs/spice?

[@kittusahai]

Can I use jaggery in place of palm sugar

[@adamthehtkminion6750]

Hi there! She addresses this question in her video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2SVp5RpqLGca68 Cheers and have fun! Adam

[@Kouglizia]

Hi Pailin, I have a problem. Every time I try this dish, my chicken releases quite a bit of water. How can I avoid that? Otherwise wonderful dish, Thank you!!!

[@PailinsKitchen]

Usually that's either because the pan is too crowded and steam gets trapped and water can't evaporate. Also if heat is too low water will not evaporate fast enough. :)

[@Kouglizia]

PailinsKitchen It worked this time around. Thanks for your advice. Hmmmm! I am doing my yummy dance. I wish you coud see me ;-)

[@cosmos69]

Thats because your wok is hot enough.

[@rollajay5301]

The second i said to myself she needs some rice she says it straight away

[@mercedesmanyvong9543]

Can I use regular chicken wings or so?

[@mercedesmanyvong9543]

And can I not use the black soy sauce? Just regular soy sauce would be fine?

[@mr.marshallck5507]

ยํา..😋

[@huchencourouleau7304]

I heard in Thailand people fry eggs named Thai omelette, can you make this ? Thanks:)

[@kentaono301]

She already made a video re. this

[@kentaono301]

*thai omelette

[@aydingultekin5376]

This dish seems to be more chinese than thai but it seems tasty

[@9231tomi]

So the chicken actually overcooked because of the retakes 😅 or start with the new batch🤭

[@deepenupreti8102]

do you have face book

[@fjeisdivoojlk]

Or dont keep tossing and you'll get crispy edges instead of "boiling" results.

[@fAdwUn]

[@rajendransrinivasan7609]

salt?

[@PailinsKitchen]

Hi Adam here - and no just soy hot-thai-kitchen.com/ginger-soy-chicken/

[@marizensoul8410]

i think you could get a roasted chicken and do this with all the dark meat, the breast is usually gone once i get home anyway 😁

[@trilli7914]

She's so sensual with her cooking

[@kiatlow9700]

+Kola Seak a bit like Nigella Lawson. Nigella stares at you, maintain eye contact and don't you dare look away, say something, gives you a wicked smile then a wiggle. Now that is a secret for every successful presenter.

Here cause she cute

[@simplesuniel]

m.. m.... mmmmm wow

[@blahb1103]

[@cHemon]

[@Civtex]

You're so damn cute in your videos 😊

[@stellaartois1508]

i think its too much soya sauce and pepper xD

[@user-pv4wv3ir9y]

聽不懂啦！

[@jacktsang05]

Geez that’s a lot of sodium.

[@hunterman7597]

No good
