    I’ve made this twice now. It’s legit just like the one in the mall but I feel it’s healthier and you control the quality of the protein. Use a good non-stick pan and make sure it’s pre-heated to high (maybe not all the way to high) the first time I made this I used a crappy pan and while it tasted ok, it wasn’t caramelize like it’s supposed to, I still made 3 meals out of it, the second time I was shocked, I used a good non-stick pan and oh my lord… also I added a tsp of brown sugar the second time I made it and for the veggies I just sautéed well shopped carrots and broccoli. But yeah, thanks for this recipe, I’m going to be making on the regular now. Also, the first time I didn’t thinly sliced the chicken thighs and the second time I made sure to thinly cut them and it was much better.

      Interesting. Was watching this and thinking this can't possibly be it, because it doesn't look like Sarku pre-marinates their chicken or beef in sauce. Instead they add a scoop of teriyaki sauce after mid-cook. But now I guess I'll have to try this.

    • @mime454
      @mime454 Před 6 dny

      @@hunterhenryk I think the chicken is marinated in the back. I’ve read other CZcams comments from people who have worked there that say the chicken is marinated with a dough hook constantly stirring the chicken. That’s what I do too and I marinate this way for 2 hours. It’s very close.

      Great question! I don’t know but I think if you vacuum sealed the chicken or put it in an air tight bag with as much air removed it would likely freeze well. The rice and veggies likely will be mushy after freezing but the chicken probably tastes good still. Give it a try and let me know how it works out! Otherwise I’ll be making lots more videos here and will try to revisit! 👍🏼

      Garlic is a good addition to cook with it. And it depends but about 3-5 minutes. You don't want to overcook it but you want to make sure the carrots do soften up. The cabbage will cook down quickly. 🙂
