Do you cook your chicken twice?

Asked by Dutchess_III (46853points) August 23rd, 2021

Once upon a time I had a Vietnamese neighbor. The kids and I called her “Fawn,” because that’s what we heard when she told us her name. She asked me to help her study for her American citizenship test. Which is how I know I could never pass an American citizenship test.
In return she taught me how to make chicken egg rolls.
She added the chicken while it was raw.
I was surprised and asked her about it.
She said “You Americans! You always cook your chicken twice! The chicken will cook when you fry the egg roll!”
Lesson learned. When I make a chicken based dish I use raw chicken. That way it’s so tender and juicy and its own juices have been incorporated into the dish.
