I fell in love with this dish at my local Chinese Buffet several years ago, but no sooner than I discovered it, it disappeared from the selection-and it was never on the takeout menu. When I inquired about it, they didn't understand what I was talking about. I spent years searching high and low for a recipe. The sauce at first tastes sweet, but then it turns hot...so, so good. I had to have that magic formula..I finally found it! Sweet and spicy fans-this is to die for! UPDATE: I made this again and I wanted a little more fire to it. I added About a tbs or so of chili garlic sauce it comes in a little red jar with a green top and has a picture of a rooster on the front, its made by huyfong foods and it's in the asian section. This really made the dish especially good! It added not just heat but some really good flavor. I'll be making it this way from now on! Ingredients:
