Am sure the other recipe with chilli sauce is very good but tried this one instead because thought children would like it better. They (and we) loved it. Works well with wholemeal bread as well. - 07 Nov 2015
This is my favorite appetizer in our Chinese restaurants, so I tried this recipe last night for company. Excellent taste from the fresh ginger root and oyster sauce, but deep frying the whole piece of bread was too greasy. - 10 May 2005 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
