What are some Asian ways to cook chicken with flavourful sauce to eat with
rice? I am looking for something that can be eaten everyday. Something like
chili chicken but that requires deep frying which is annoying to do everyday.

I also am monitoring this thread because I can't get General Gau/Tso's chicken in my current country of residence and I'm absolutely fucking suffering with cravings. It's been 5 years bros help a nigga out

Related. Lots of asian recipes like Adobo uses a lot of soy sauce. Is it safe to drink that much soy sauce everyday. Seems like a lot. I don't mean just coating it, but drinking the entire thing.

no.

What a lot of people forget is the topping to rice ratio is way off in most modern palate.

The sauce/taste is suppose to be stretched by the rice.

Just look up authentic Japanese chicken recipes. They have plenty of delicious sauces that they use for specific foods.
You can also make your own teriyaki with soy sauce (preferably lee kum kee premium, that shit is amazing), mirin, and your choice of sake.
Make sure to cook the sauce on low heat unless you want it to make you drunk. You can also add some brown sugar and/or honey to add even more flavor.
Also adding some rice vinegar to this mixture makes yakitori sauce, which is absolutely heavenly and is used for their yakitori chicken skewers, which is one of my favorite foods.

can you get orange juice? or fresh citrus?
if you can cook citrus juice with a sugar until it forms a paste with some soy sauce, you can make 'orange chicken' and 'general tsos' at home, or very close to the same taste.

Well yeah but that doesn't really sound like the General Gau's you see in Boston takeout places

Chicken teriyaki is easy, quick and delicious. Just chop up some chicken thighs and fry them together with

1 part sugar
1 part sake
1 part mirin
1 part japanese soy

I've never really deep fried anything at home but I think I might give it a go. I had a really deep skillet now so it's time to grow up and get my fry on

make a good chilli oil and you'll be set

i recommend a sichuan chilli oil (with the usual peppers, star anise etc) and a neutral liquid oil like canola or sunflower

You're suppose to dilute it with water then thicken the sauce with cornstarch. It's not usually supposed to be super salty unless your trying to save money by eating sauce with a lot of rice.
