Transcript

Look at that chicken and it's dripping in sauce. I saw this place on TikTok and I saw that they make their orange chicken instead of flour with cornstarch. So I got orange chicken, I added broccoli, and then also comes with steamed rice. Smells so good. And this is so heavy, it's so much food. I'm already a fan. Look how much extra sauce is in there. I hate when orange chicken is dry. This is so good. Try a piece of broccoli. Perfectly crunchy. I'm so happy right now. I just want to put a little bit of my rice inside of there. I believe that you can make this completely gluten-free too if you modify the sauce. I saw the option to add no soy in the sauce. They also give me a packet of Chinese mustard. I feel like I want to try this. Chinese hot mustard. Good flavor. I feel like it's really hard to find gluten-free orange chicken in LA. The only place I can think of is Air 1, but this sauce ratio does not compare whatsoever. This has way more sauce, which is my preferred. Sadly, this is my last night in San Diego and I think that this meal from Mandarin House was my favorite that I've had in the past almost two weeks here. It was literally the best orange chicken I've ever had. I'm gonna do my fortune. You will enjoy good health and financial independence. I'm down.
