This Indo-Chinese dish is a very popular chicken starter and can be served as a side dish along with fried rice .

For this recipe I have used boneless thigh pieces .First clean chicken pieces and cut into thin stripes.You can also use breast pieces to make dragon chicken .

While making Chinese dishes I always mix sauces in a separate bowl .It helps me to get an idea how the sauces taste.While cooking ,you can also adjust the sauce level before adding chicken .
