Express Sweet & Sour Chicken
I've made a more complex version of this dish, however this time I wanted to do something to make use of some leftover pineapple juice, tomatoes and a single chicken breast. You can make this work with what you have - the key is something sweet and something sour. The rough measurements for this recipe are below:
For the chicken:
1 chicken breast
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cornstarch
1 tbsp shaoshing wine
1 tbsp light soy sauce
For the stir fry
1 each red and yellow bell pepper
1 sweet onion
1 garlic clove
1/3 cup cashews or peanuts
1/4 cup diced pineapple (canned)
2 tbsp vegetable oil
For the sauce
Juice from one can of diced pineapple (approx 1 cup)
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp tomato sauce (from canned tomatoes) (can sub ketchup)
2 tbsp cornstarch in 2 tbsp water
Slice the chicken and marinade in the salt, cornstarch, wine and soy while preparing the vegetables. Chop the vegetables in a large dice, and mince the garlic. Mix the sauce ingredients except for the cornstarch - adjust seasoning and sugar to taste.
Stirfry the chicken until not quite cooked through in a hot wok with the oil. Add the vegetables and stir fry for about 4 minutes, until they start to char but are still crisp. Add any leftover pineapple you have from the canned pineapple, if available, as well as cashews. Stirfry for about 30 seconds then add the sauce, mix, and then add the cornstarch slurry and mix and let come to a boil. Once the sauce is thickened (about 2 minutes) it is ready to serve. Enjoy with white rice.
My more complicated recipe, which is also worth making if you have a bit more time:

Delicious Halifax style Donair with Sweet Sauce!
Переглядів 40Місяць тому
This video came about when my friend Pascale, the owner of La Belle Patate on Davie Street in Vancouver, gave me some of the Halifax style sweet donair sauce that he uses on his donair poutine. I created a donair worthy of the sauce! You can substitute store bought pita, however the home made ones are pretty easy and worth the effort, especially if you are unable to get fresh pita. I've include...
Fast Delicious Air Fryer Chicken Parm
Переглядів 42Місяць тому
I had some leftover Rao's marinara and decided to make chicken parm. I didn't have a lot of time and did not feel like frying - so the airfryer came to the rescue! This was about 90% as good as fried in oil and 200% easier, so a win. 2 chicken breasts (about 1 pound) Mozzarella cheese (about 5 slices) 1 cup marinara sauce Fresh parsley for garnish Spray oil For the chicken dredge: 1/2 cup corn ...
Chicken Souvlaki Pita from Scratch!
Переглядів 43Місяць тому
This recipe took almost 2 hours, which is longer than I thought when I set out to make it, however it is mind-blowingly good! The chicken, pita, tzatziki and garnish are all made from scratch. It is @BrianLagerstrom 's recipe - and he really knocked it out of the park. His video, with the detailed recipe in the description, is here: ua-cam.com/video/GegV8ggmzbw/v-deo.htmlsi=SBnQ1gpX43v5Ik_- #so...
Delicious Buttermilk Waffles!
Переглядів 23Місяць тому
These waffles are a great way to use up leftover egg whites which you may have from making pasta or another egg yolk intensive recipe! They freeze very well, and re-heat in the air fryer from frozen so you can make a batch and have them whenever you want, in minutes.

Learning the Wok: Ginger Beef with Snow Peas
Переглядів 1382 місяці тому
This simple dish only has a few ingredients, and is ginger and cilantro forward! With a pound of flank steak it makes a generous portion, good for 4 people when served with white rice. If you can find young ginger it is recommended, however older ginger with a microplane worked well. This recipe is from Kenji's book "The Wok" - you can find it here: booklarder.com/products/the-wok (not an affil...
Pizza on a small gas grill!
Переглядів 702 місяці тому
Just because you have a small grill doesn't mean you can't have great pizza. Pizza on the grill is great in summer as it can be done while socializing, and doesn't heat up the kitchen. Here I am using pre-made dough from whole foods, so it is super easy. When I do this with homemade dough a New York or Neapolitan style dough both work. #pizza #grilling #vancouvervibes #balcony #condoliving @Nap...
Fettuccini Alfredo with homemade pasta
Переглядів 882 місяці тому
As far as recipes go it doesn't get much simpler than this. There are debates on whether Alfredo sauce should contain cream - this version doesn't but there are those that do. This recipe was mind blowingly delicious. I used 24 month parmesan.

shame on you sir, for having such a dirty pizza maker there is no way id eat at your place when you opened that door i gasped filthy sod
So many people can't cook a good egg
I used a well seasoned carbon steel pan for this one, which makes a nice crispy egg. I prefer over medium, so flipped it - but it would have been a great sunny side up.
Food plus The Cult? Excellent!! 🎉😊
Glad you appreciate it - love that song!
There are so many things wrong with this
It was pretty delicious for 10 minutes work!
On so many levels😂
delicious😊
❤ it…again it worked perfectly with medium tofu-used peanuts as that’s what I had on hand 😋
Yum 😋!!
The background view is so amazing!🎉
You forgot the last strand in the pan
I know! I just ate it plain when I finished shooting the video!
you have done perfecto❤❤
Thank you - I could eat it every day!
Never tried an Alfredo before but this makes me wanna make it!
It is worth trying. Make sure you use unsalted butter!
GREAT weekday recipe-yummy but easy + fast!
Great video Bill, thank you for the recipe! Just subscribed. Keep making the videos, and don't you DARE give up!!!
Thanks for the sub!
Looks so good!
Great recipe and is easily vegetarian-works well with halloumi cheese.
Yum!!
Very impressive!
Best camping pasta! 😊
I saw you in the mirror. The background view is great!
Looks great/yummy😋-do you recommend investing in that style of b b que?
Will work with any gas bbq! Charcoal bbq as well, but temp control is a bit trickier.
Bill's pizza is iconic and you can tell from his chanel's picture🍕
Mmm good, will try but with a good quality bought noodle🍜
I made it with dry pasta yesterday and it was just as delicious.
I bet it was as delish-it’s a go to recipe for me this week😋
Quick and delicious 🤤
So delicious!
Looks yummy and again not difficult to make!!
This looks so delicious 😋
Thank you 😋
A fun recipe with interesting combo of ingredients-worth trying😊
So cool!
If I want 1 hour pizza, I buy pizza dough from Trader Joe's. The effort to make pizza dough from scratch in 1 hour isn't worth the effort and doesn't taste any better than TJ's dough. If I make dough, it takes a day of resting and I make enough of it so I can make and freeze 10-12 balls of pizza dough for further use. Spend more time and do it right or skip the dough prep altogether and get TJ's is my opinion :)
I would do that too - however we don’t have Trader Joe’s up here in Canada! Best option is Whole Foods dough, which is OK. I will also freeze dough when I make extra but have limited freezer space living in a condo. I’m working my way through these 1 hour dough recipes as an experiment in the hope I find one that is great - I’m still looking!
Will try the pan pizza-definitely looks easy and so quick….for those who don’t have a pizza oven would a good hot oven work ?
This one will work in a regular home oven.
looks like one minute pizza to me :)
Looks quick + easy-will try it!
Isnt that lomein?
Could be - I’ve always found the definitions unclear. Since these noodles weren’t fresh, and were stir fried with the fillings I considered them chow mein. I’d consider fresh noodles cooked separately and then topped with the stir fry lo mein. But I’m no expert on this!
@@billcooks around me chowmein is like groung meat and cabbage with crunchy noodels on top, i did just watch another vid where they called a dish like this chow mein so maybe its regional...
@@billcooks From my home country, we call this chao mian (chow mein in your language). Lao mian is the one you cook in boiling water.
DEFINITELY inspiring!!
Made me hungry watching this 😊
i got an idea for you (not sure if itll work since i havent tried it) Make your scallion pancake a bit thinner. Stack chicken onto it. Fold in into a form resembling an empanada/calzone. Either pan fry it or air-fry (after liberally brushing it with oil) it.
Scallion pancake empanada - I like it!
Mmm good👨🍳…looks delish!!
yours is much better!
Looks so good!
Delicious 😊
Totally have to try!
Yum! Will have to try this!
This recipe is definitely a keeper ❤
I think so too!
The fried noodles are actually very delicious 😀
Yummy-will have to try the stove/oven pizza 🍕…love the tips you give as you go along 😊
The suspense is killing me!
Nice!
Watching this made me hungry 😋
so cool!
Delish-again made it with tofu (it soaks up the flavours of the marinade beautifully)..😊
Yum plus Bill you make it so doable 😊
