Ingredients
3 cups of water
Juice of 1 orange about 50 - 60 ml.
¾ cup of sugar
¼ cup ketchup
5 - 6 tbsp apple cider vinegar - some kinds of vinegar are more potent than others
Good ½ tbsp dark soy sauce
Red food colour - optional up to you but every takeaway uses it.
Cornstarch water for slurry mixed at 1 tbsp cornstarch 3 tbsp water.
Now at the taste and adjust stage - dont forget this is straight from the pan and not cooked in the final dish. You may think its too sour and go over board with the sugar or you may think its too sweet etc - its NOT this works just adjust a little.

Hi I made your Chicken with ginger and spring onion instead of the usual Friday night take-away and it was delicious, so much cleaner and healthier than the normal one I get. I have not got up this morning with a raging thirst after my usual takeaways. I am so glad you have now shown the recipe for sweet and sour. I normally make sweet and sour chicken using a jar so not really homemade I cant wait to try this. My next door neighbour and I have it in turns to make a meal for each other each week as we are both in late 60's and with this lockdown (and of course finances ) its great to try something different. Thanks for making home cooking exciting again shows we are never to old to learn . Cant wait to see what I will be trying next.

@BackyardChef 3 года назад

Hi Elaine thank you for your comments really appreciated i can tell you. All my recipes work - ive cooked for a little while in various places and countries. p.s. nearly the same age too! With the Chicken and ginger you noticed there is no msg - that is the same here. There is no need to pack it with a flavour enhancer if you cook it right. Most folks that post recipes are copying others and think its the way to go - it does not have to be. Have a look later Sweet and Sour Chicken will be here!. Stay connected and let me know what you like to cook. Obviously different countries and time settings. Im stoked that you took time to comment - best, Rik

I Like The Sweet And Sour Sauce!! But You Didn't Have To Add The Red Food Coloring!! The Tomato 🍅 Catch-up And The Soy Sauce Made The Original Coloring To The Sauce!! But!! The Video Was Nice. With Giving Us The Corn Starch, And The Orange Juice, Or Pineapple Juice To Finish Off The Sweet And Sour Sauce.. With Adding The Apple Cider Vinegar And White Sugar!! Salt And The Seasoning To The Taste 😋.

No No No No Ketchup ‼️

@BackyardChef 8 месяцев назад

Explain why no ketchup Gloria instead of a ridiculous in fact quite a pathetic comment that no one can learn from - So i will give the explanation of using ketchup as an ingredient in the professional kitchen and if you choose not to use it when watching a recipe that does use it - as they say here in Asia - UP TO YOU! so here we go then not just a flippant comment, Ketchup is a versatile ingredient that can be found in both home kitchens and professional settings. While it may be most commonly associated with fast food or as a simple condiment, ketchup has a variety of applications in more sophisticated culinary environments as well. Flavour Enhancer Ketchup contains a balanced profile of sweetness, acidity, and umami, which can enhance the flavors of a dish. It can be used in marinades, sauces, and glazes to add complexity and depth. Base for Sauces Ketchup serves as a convenient base for a variety of sauces. For example, it can be mixed with vinegar, sugar, and spices to create a homemade barbecue sauce. It can also be used in cocktail sauce, Thousand Island dressing, and other condiments. Ingredient in Recipes In professional kitchens, ketchup is often used in recipes like meatloaf, stews, sauces, and casseroles. It can add moisture and flavour to baked goods like meat pies or act as a binder in recipes like crab cakes. Quick Fixes In a busy kitchen, ketchup can serve as a quick fix to balance out the flavours of a dish. If a sauce is too salty or lacks depth, a spoonful of ketchup can often solve the problem. Cultural Relevance Ketchup has global appeal and is used in various cuisines around the world. In Asian cooking, for example, it is used in sweet and sour dishes, stir-fries and noodle dishes. Presentation Its vibrant red color can also make for an appealing presentation, whether used as a garnish or as part of a more complex sauce. However, it's worth noting that ketchup contains sugar and salt, so it should be used judiciously, especially in recipes that already have these elements. Some chefs prefer to make their own ketchup to have better control over the flavour and nutritional content. In summary, while ketchup may seem like a simple condiment, its versatility makes it a valuable ingredient in a professional kitchen. Best, Rik

I hate how you're clearly British yet using American measurements... But I get it, gotta play to your audience

@michaelw970 7 месяцев назад

He’s using British imperial measurements not American . You might be confused or expecting him to use with the metric system ( introduced by Freanch and it kills me to say, but far superior and simpler to any other system of measurement). The EU system is also used in the U.K. by order of the EU. Your system is based on the British but with a few differences ie smaller gallon
