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!
Man Alive 😮. You are AMAZING 😮 I will be round in 5 mins for mine. 90,000 plus people,, thoroughly appreciate your menu's. I am ever so pleased for you.. Your wife and son , always knew you were,,,as you always sign of ..... THE BEST RIK 😘😘😘 Enjoy being the fastest growing cooking channel ,,on you tube 😘😘 Henrietta.😘😘
Oo this has always been my favourite takeaway dish since I first had it in the 70s I do make a version at home with out the batter but I will give your one ago , I love your carrot flowers 👌thank you Rik you are a star 🌟Amanda xx
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.
Hello! A favorite at home! I will make it; looks delicious! Thanks for sharing! Have a great day everyone! Rik, soon you will be reaching 100.000 subscribers!! Congratulations! Best, Cristina
I’d love to see you cook some yorkshire pudding, or Toad in the hole. I haven’t had either of them in decades! my Mum used to cook yorkshire pudding with a roast beef dinner, soooo yummmo! I’d love to know how to make it.
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.
Hey Rik, good idea to "revamp" recipes you did ages ago mate👍 I can still recall your chinese takeaway dishes from years ago😋 superb! especially the beef curry yummo! . Chicken balls would be my no.1 favourite takaway item ever! right, anyway... back to the rest of the vid now😋
Great Idea to bring two or three older videos into one place, shows everyone how everything can be brought together as a fun packed takeaway style meal, AND, cheaper too !
Love colourful dishes, so flavorful. Thanks for the tips to make this dish authentic and a success. Never attempted to make chicken balls on my own. Now have the know-how to make it in your simple style. Thank you.
Wow! After subbing for a week or so I did my "Due Diligence" on Rik... AND *WOW* what a *MASTER!!!* He's used to cooking 400+ "ready meals" per day and still stays super chill... So much so Rik's almost Arctic.. "Why tha's a true Yorkshireman if I evva sin thi'" THATS why he's so chill..... *Si' thi' then on t't next dishes....*
@@BackyardChef Honestly - Your a true great Yorkshireman Rik! Or should we say a "Thai-d and Bound" Gent! 😉🤣 Can't wait to see you slip in a Boa dish in your Traditional British Series (which you've got me totally hooked!)
Hi Rik, this is by far the easiest recipe for this I have seen, I have tried many others without much success, but yours I will try and know everyone in my family will love it. I have watched a few of your other videos, it is a joy to watch someone who loves food as much as me. Thanks.
Thanks for this video. I serve the sauce poured on top and that way the chicken nuggets keep crispy for longer. You recipes really are easy to follow, great value and taste amazing
That looks so yummy I can't wait to make it. I always roast or microwave my chicken for sweet and sour but I'll try boiling them. Wonderful chef. Thanks Rik x
That’s some of my favorite takeaways! I often make Chinese foods at home. You can put cornstarch in your breading to make it EXTRA crispy. 😊 Try some chicken powder in the rice too! Kicks it up a notch. My favorite is Knorr’s.
Fantastic video. Going to make the chicken balls and fried rice today, you are first person who I have seen saying about drying the rice in the pan . Looks amazing
Very rare to get battered chicken or pork in sweet and sour from the takeaways where I live any more, yours took me back to when they did and how much I used to love them …I looking forward to following your recipe and methods 👍thanks.
Well done, that meal turned out a quality looking meal, your years of experience are evident, I cook the same meal and I know the food preparation knowledge and experience required.
I love sweet and sour chicken. This looks amazing. I'm definitely going to boil my chicken first before I use it in anything else. Egg fried rice is my favourite rice. I will be making this very soon. Thanks for sharing Rik.
Pouring down outside and very windy so what to do. I made this this morning ready for tonight. I tell you what Rik. You are the master and it's tastes fantastic. Guess that makes me a master too😁 Thank you very much much Rik 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Looks delicious Rik, I often make sweet & sour at home, but have never attempted the battered chicken version, thanks to your demonstration I feel confident enough to try it next time. Your bad for my diet Rik, was supposed to be having salad for tea tonight, but having watched you tuck in, I’ve just fished out one of my S&S pre-made meals from the freezer & I’ll rustle up a pan of egg fried rice to accompany it!😋 Boring salad can wait for another day!😆😂 Thanks 🙏 as always Rik xx 👨🍳🍚 🥘👌
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.
Thank you for this Rik, I made chicken balls the other day but i never added egg to my batter and i never boiled the chicken first .....maybe thats why they were misshaped lol. i will definitely try your way 👍
🙌🏻🙌🏻 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.✋🏻☺️🌾
Love this, one of my favorites, never made it but now I am!!! I did think that red food coloring was on the "bad for you" list due to being made from bugs?
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.
"Metal on metal" a problem??? Not in MY kitchen! 😊 Chef, I wish I was sitting at the table with you...I'm imagining all the delicious smells...p e r f e c t!
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
WOW! That's my all-time favourite takeaway. No more takeaways. Thank you so much, Rik. Love ya.
You are so welcome, Liz. Thank you. Best, Rik
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. ❤️👍🏼
Thanks for the tip! Best, Rik
My mother always used the juice from the canned pineapple.
I'll never forget as a young child my aunt taking me to my first restaurant, sweet and sour and so good, thank you Rik.
Thank you. Best, Rik
