Chicken Curry Chinese Style

This is a typical Chinese style of Chicken Curry and this is the way how my mom used to cook. And we also like to serve this style Chicken curry in any kind of party e.g. Birthday party, Baby full month party & etc and usually to eat together with fried mee hoon (rice vermicelli) or fried noodles. Chinese style of chicken curry is slightly difference from Indian style as we do not add so many kinds of spices like cinnamon, cumin, coriander & etc.
