This is a great dish. Its real street food, usually open about 3 hours a day. first they ask "Wu Kuai hai shi shi kuai de ma?" or "You want 5 or 10 rmb's worth?" Then they take a pre-measured amount from behind the table and dump it in hot oil. They move it around in the oil for about a minute. As this is happening they take healthy helpings of chopped chili, scallion, andgarlic and put it into a hot wok with a bit of oil. They take the chicken strips out of the oil (at which point they are golden brown), saute them with the chili, scallion, garlic mixture, add salt and pepper, then put it into styrofoam. This dish is sooo good. Its not super oily, but the chicken is juicy, its salty and garlicky, a bit spicy. I usually eat it while Im walking. Better than KFC!
