The ability of Youtube to figure out what I might watch does not disturb me, seeing as largely I am a man of clean habits, and confine my viewing to mediaeval war, in-depth foreign language discussions, small furry creatures, morris dances, and cooking.

That's not quite how I would do it, but I do not have so fully equipped a restaurant-style kitchen. There are limitations. But it is, as the culinary gentleman said, hou gaan-taan (好簡單). Simple. If you can quickly deepfry the potato to gild it, and ditto lightly for the chicken.
Potato chunks, chopped chicken, salt, sugar, oil, vegetables.
Curry paste, coconut milk, chili oil, cilantro.

I also got to see someone preparing a Teochew-style Oyster Omelette (潮州蠔仔煎蛋 'chiu jau ho jai jin daan'), and Hokkien Fried Prawn Mee (炒福建蝦麵 'chaau fuk kin haa min'). Which really got my appetite up.
PS. Remember, everything with sambal.
都幾滿意。
