24. Lemon Soo Gai

Lemon Soo Gai is a scrumptious and tangy dish that combines tender, breaded chicken with a refreshingly zesty lemon sauce. The succulent pieces of chicken are first coated in a light batter and deep-fried to golden perfection, resulting in a delightfully crispy exterior. The dish is then smothered in a mouth-watering lemon sauce made from a blend of fresh lemon juice, sugar, and flavorful seasonings, giving it an irresistible harmony of tanginess and sweetness that bursts with flavor in every bite. A tasty choice for those who love the perfect mix of citrus and succulence, Lemon Soo Gai adds a lively twist to Chinese cuisine.

Fun fact: Did you know that Lemon Soo Gai is actually a North American adaptation of a traditional Chinese dish called ‘Fried Sliced Chicken with Lemon’? Its origins can be traced back to early Chinese immigrants in the United States and Canada, who creatively adapted their culinary skills to cater to local flavors and ingredients. Over time, this delectable fusion dish has become a crowd favorite, highlighting the East-meets-West spirit that brings together the best of both worlds in every mouthful!
