What are the ingredients proportions? How much oil, salt, etc.

This is a really hard question. Most Chinese cooking is done “to taste”.
For oil, I’d say 2 tbsp per pound of chicken. You could get away with less, but the authentic version has a LOT of oil. For salt, probably 1 tsp for a small chicken is fine if you’re going to use the preserved chilis, but if you aren’t, double the salt

So this is confusing. I too cook “to taste”, but you are sharing your recipe with the world. I LOVE Dry Wok cuisine. But I won’t be able to make this recipe as it lacks details.
You responding, 2 TBSP / of chicken then saying authentic version has a LOT. Can you note how much you use? Also you never gave the portions for the rest of the ingredient as I asked, ginger, mushrooms, etc.
I thought it would be nice to try your recipe, but I will resort to the other one I have used.
Thank you for responding.
