I love chicken balls. I could eat them every day,these are a lot different to the ones I get at my local takeaway.

To add color and flavor freshly cut pineapple chunks would go well with this savory dish, stir fry some sliced carrots and green pepper slices

@DavieD609 2 месяца назад

Yep, add pineapple then slide it all into the bin

Really good video. The only other ingredient Chinese takeaways put into the batter is crack an egg and also put in a table spoon of Bird's Custard Powder.

Tried your "+ soy sauce" Sweet & Sour recipe - Not a fan - I'm looking forward to trying this British take away style with the vibrant colours of my childhood S&S chicken experiences - Thanks Jeremy Got any pointers for British take-away style Chicken foo young ? 🙂

@iteerrex8166 10 месяцев назад

You mentioned bicarbonate of soda. Kiwi paste is another. It works so well that you gotta time it or it’ll turn the meat into mush.

@colinclarke4189 10 месяцев назад

I wish I'd seen this before I cooked my dinner. Defo going to give it a go at the weekend. Could I use cider instead of beer?

@oplawlz 10 месяцев назад

If it's carbonated - that's the important part. I use Sprite for the slight citrus tang it adds to the batter :)

@dorsetdumpling5387 4 месяца назад

Great video - the very first Chinese takeaway I ever had was sweet and sour chicken, and as a kid raised on a typical British diet (all good stuff, home made by my mum) it was a real eye opener which triggered an interest in other cuisines which has lasted ever since. A question ‘though - I use carbon steel woks, cleaned and seasoned after each use, and I find that whenever I make a vinegar based sauce in them it strips the seasoned finish leaving bare steel which always looks a bit alarming! - doesn’t seem to affect the taste of the sauce. Am I missing something?

@HenryhyphenS 10 месяцев назад

If you get time to answer I always get confused with the use of rice wine vinegar, rice vinegar and shaohsing rice wine. I’ve got all of them, but when I see some recipes it can be unclear which they mean!! Made your dishes lots of times and they are great. Thank you!! 🤘❤️

@ImHowardMoonsir1 10 месяцев назад

For this recipe I would just use distilled white vinegar

@kelvin3103 10 месяцев назад

Rice wine vinegar and rice vinegar are apparently the same thing, use for a milder acidity and slight sweetness compared to regular white vinegar. Shaoxing wine has lots of uses in Chinese cooking, it’s used in marinades to take away some of the meaty or gamey flavours of certain meats, it’s also used during cooking to add fragrance.

@FrostedCreations 10 месяцев назад

Rice wine vinegar and rice vinegar are the same thing, just vinegar made with rice (you have to make a type of rice wine and then make that into vinegar which is why it's sometimes called rice wine vinegar). There are different types of rice vinegar (e.g. those made with brown, black or red rice) but unless it specifies it means clear/pale yellow rice vinegar, which is used the vast majority of the time. Rice wine is just wine made from rice, and like grape wine there's a lot of variation. Shaoxing is a type of rice wine, but rice wines can be very different from eachother. If a recipe just says "rice wine" they probably mean "mijiu" or clear rice wine but I would honestly stay away from those recipes as if they knew what they were doing they would be more specific. Shaoxing will probably be too strong in recipes if they actually want clear rice wine, which has a more neutral flavour.

@HenryhyphenS 10 месяцев назад

@@FrostedCreations many thanks. Yeah I assumed that Rice vinegar and Rice wine vinegar were the same! I've got some of that mirin as well which is great, I guess its like Shaohsing but a different flavour.

looks delicious and I tried to find the recipe but the written one does not have the same batter. I wondered where the exact measurements are other than on video. Thank you

@SchoolofWok 6 месяцев назад

The recipe in the description is the same as in the video: 110g plain flour, 20g cornflour and 200-250ml cold beer or soda. If the batter is too thin then add less liquid. Hope this helps! - Chris

@idchance2699 10 месяцев назад

Can the sweet and sour sauce be made with something other than ketchup?

@marcopovoa4191 10 месяцев назад

Tomato paste...

@martinjf467 10 месяцев назад

You can substitute a mix of tomato puree, sugar and vinegar... which is pretty much what tomato ketchup is anyway!

@yunaxiao9605 10 месяцев назад

sugar and white vinegar?

@DavidRodriguez-yb1qb 10 месяцев назад

I made this today. It was all going great, tried the chicken fired with the beer batter-delicious. But I mixed it with the sauce, 30 seconds in the wok, served and it went soggy so quickly, not sure why (sauce was too liquid maybe?)

@SchoolofWok 10 месяцев назад

Maybe you didn't reduce it down enough, it should be like a sticky glaze that doesn't soak into the batter too much so it leaves them crunchy for a while - Lee

@martinjf467 10 месяцев назад

@@oplawlz possibly. But School of Wok is in London so I would have expected it to be more “Chinglish” in style. Mind you, it varies so much even in the same city doesn’t it. When we do it we add diced chillis and pineapple juice to the sauce and some garlic granules - the result is very like one we have in a Manchester’s China Town. Enjoy your cooking! 😀
