I'm so excited to try this recipe. Thank you for sharing. Ever since we moved to Portland from San Francisco Bay Area we've not been able to find my fiance's favorite soy sauce chicken commonly found in Canto barbecue shops. I'm curious if this is a recipe that is possible to make at home, and if so, would love to be pointed to a promising recipe or even better hear from Chef Papa Lau himself! I'd love to give her the taste of home.
