    Try using strawberry jam as the sweetener with pineapple juice adding enough vinegar for the sour. Nobody ever believes me when i tell them what i use in the sauce. Ive even used it on sweet and sour meatballs.
    Love this demo. ❤️👍🏼

      Back in 1979 I had never really been exposed to Chinese cuisine, even at 24 years old. But I used to drive past a Chinese restaurant that was, and still is just outside of town on my way home from work. That is the place where I discovered S&S pork. I loved the taste but the pork was very fatty and half of my meal I spit out. That's when I went to the chicken, even to this day. They also had a dish that I loved, S&S pressed duck. It was fantastic, but I have never found it again anywhere. I moved away from that town in Washington State in 1982, but found incredible restaurants in Seattle's Chinatown where I could feed my S&S passion. That's where I discovered the wonders of Dim Sum! But That's a for another time. P.S. The best S&S chicken I've ever had was in San Francisco's Chinatown in 1996. Amazing!

    This is a very nice, all-in recipe, if you like takeaway I strongly urge everyone to try this recipe. It's not that hard.
    The nice thing about doing it yourself is that you can make it a little fancier than the takeaway version. I usually will add some spices to the flour as well as nicely marinade the chicken. One trick that does seem to give better batter is to use Green Dragon flour which fluffs up even more than regular self-raising flour.
    As for the rice, I recently got a rice cooker and it's pretty useful since you can also use it to steam dumplings, so with some good prep you can have an entire Chinese meal for a fraction of a takeaway meal.

    I agree. Sweet & Sour Chicken (or Pork) with egg fried rice, rather than plain rice is a winning combination. I like to add a few chilli flakes in the stir-frying stage.
    Adding a few dry chicken balls at the end is a great idea for the crunch.
    Run the deep frying oil through a metal sieve and use a couple more times.

      My mother had a fried rice recipe she got from a comic book in the 1950s. It had onion and bacon as well. Over the years this grew to tomato, capsicum (bell pepper), zucchini, mushrooms, and whatever. A meal on its own.

    I watching this and licking my chops, hoping you would pass me some through the Telly, looks so yum! Your style is so easy to follow and in most cases we don't have to go to different grocery stores to buy products we will only use once! Thanks, did you use long grain rice!
    i buy medium grain as alot of what i cook requires only medium grain or short grain, 🌝

    Fantastic meal Rik!! I really like your trick of poaching the chicken breast first, then batter and fry. I've never been comfortable deep frying battered raw chicken - I always worry the chiucken will be raw so I deliberately overcook it - with the guaranteed disappointing results. Def going to try it your way. Thank you sir!

    This recipe took me back 50 years, when Australians were just discovering Chinese food, (as it was called then). Sweet and sour chicken, pork balls in plum sauce, prawns in a lemon sauce. All sauces came from tins. Prawn wontons. It was pretty basic stuff. But in a country that was very much roast meat and 3 veg, a revelation to the locals. All I can say is thank goodness for the influx of asian immigrants during the mid 1970s to current times. The food scene in Australia is now so good. 20 years ago I didn't know what a laksa was. Now it's pretty much a staple, along with pho, ramen, bahn mi, and stir fried soft shell crab when it's available. Chili crab with flash fry veg and rice is good too. Needless to say Rick, as a result I'm the same shape as you. Come the famine, the skinny ones go first.

    Thanks, Chef; quick question, for those watching who don't know, if you froze them after the first fry, do you defrost them before the second fry and not throw them in hot oil frozen. I have to admit, I have started buying packets of frozen crushed garlic, and ginger purely because I run out of all the fresh, due to using so much. Thanks for this mate.

    🙌🏻🙌🏻 We made it a few hours ago. It was Delicious 🤩👌🏻. I had the chicken bits coated with some leftover seasoned flour we made preparing chicken parmesan then dumped them in the tempura.. double-fried, came out aromatic 😍😍. Much appreciate you for sharing this recipe. I forgot to add scallions in the end though and used thick dark soy sauce which darkened the rice but that was OKAY! Appetizing still. As next time I would replace regular sugar with a natural sweetener instead for the sugar flavor did not quite fit the sweetness in this recipe. Honey is the winner As I wished I added baking soda instead of baking powder to the flour used in the tempura. The crispness collapsed once it met the steamy sauce But all in all BIG Thanks to you.✋🏻☺️🌾

    This looks phenomenal. Do you do sesame chicken? I have been making it for my grandsons along with egg fried rice and they really like it. If you have a version I would like to try it.

      Yes you can! For cooking this I would use anything but not Olive oil. Canola, veg, sunflower, palm oil. I don't have a preference I cook with everything. Thank you. Best, Rik
