The dish often served with two side dishes, a pepper salt (椒鹽) and prawn crackers (蝦片).[3] The pepper salt, colored dark white to gray, is dry-fried separately in a wok.[4] It is a standard dish found on the menus of Hong Kong and most Chinatown restaurants overseas. Traditionally, it is to be eaten at night. It is also one of the traditional chicken dishes used in Chinese weddings and other Asian weddings.[2][5]
