Youlinji is one of my favorite Chinese dishes. By using chicken breast and a lot of vegetables, you can make a satisfying dish.

By sprinkling on sugar and sake at first, it doesn't just season it, but helps to keep it nice and juicy.
By pan frying it in oil rather than deep-frying it, the chicken turns out a lot healthier. Recipe by Niwanomomo
