Hello guys,

I'm a big lover of Chinese cuisine and really enjoy eating them. I feel like preparing them myself always but the thing that actually drags me back is lack of confidence in doing it because I'm not sure about the preparation. This time I badly felt like making chicken manchuria on my own and to enjoy it. But as already said I lack in the knowledge of cooking well and not sure about its preparation.

Can anyone help me out in this regard? Just give me a gist of its preparation and I'll be very happy with it. Thanks in advance.

That's a clear explanation. Thanks mate! This sounds a bit easier as you said, but I'm not sure of it until I try. The ingredients you stated are also in regular use and nothing typical was detected so far. I'll give it a try today and and let you know its feedback. Serving it along with noodles is really amazing and makes my mouth watering imagining it. Thank you so much for this.
 
No problem, I'm glad to help out, and certainly noodles makes a great side dish to serving :)
