This is the 'Lam Yu' I mentioning about. It comes in cubes with some red sweet sauce. Remember to put in some of the red sauce when you marinade the chicken. 'Lam Yu' can also used in stir fried vege for example chinese cabbage or cabbage.
You don't have to use too much oil when frying the meat. Just enough will do. Instead of using chicken, you can use pork ribs. It taste even better!
