About half a year ago I searched for a good Sweet&Sour Chicken recipe and I ended up watching School of Wok-vids all day. Since then I´m a die hard fan. Thank you Jeremy for the most inspiring food channel on the internet. I just got a nice cleaver from my wife and now I´ll slice, chop and wok like crazy :-)
I been cooking for a very long time and have been taught by Chinese Chefs, my Dad was a chef for 50 years , your instructions are well put and spoken. great job on these lessons for newer style and flavoring...job well done
Story goes like this: My 7yo son asked today's dinner for sweet&sour chicken. I quickly checked YT and found this video. 30 minutes later dish was served with rice. Comment from my son "Wow tastes like from chinese restaurant. Good job dad👏" . Thanks Jeremy 😊
I hate cooking for one old woman in a remote town due to ingredients needed, mess made and the washing up. BUT I had a craving for some good wholesome crunchy food. Followed this recipe to the letter. OH BOY! IT WAS FANTASTIC AND WORTH THE WORK INVOLVED. BEST CHINESE FOOD I’VE EVER TASTED. Never need a take away again. WOW!
I've made this a more than 5 times now and everyone prefers this over take-away!!!! That's not great for me having to make it every week. Thanks Jeremy, it's really really amazing!
I made this last night for my son. He loved it! He’s 17, so needless to say I didn’t even get to taste it! I really like how you instruct. I’ve learned so much watching your channel.
I am an audio engineer and TBH I like the music quite a bit. However, I think I can shed some light on why people complain about it in the comments so often. Whoever is doing the audio production is using some type of ducking to reduce the volume of the music when you are talkin. This is a great trick. However the average volume difference of the music when you are talking and not talkin is humongous. The volume raises so high during pauses and speech until it seems very abrupt and draws attention to it. Personally I think the volume of the music while you are talking is high enough to be heard during pauses. We will be listening to Kitchen sounds... Chopping mixing dot-dot-dot anyway. The music really should be the same level throughout the main portion of the video. However, if they continue to use that ducking style technique... The music really should only be a few decibels higher than when you are talking during the video in those pauses. For a normal person going from really really soft to really really loud I imagine can drive them a bit nuts LOL. All of that being said... I really enjoy the choice and style of music you guys play. I hope it doesn't go away entirely. Please pass this along to your team. I suspect that people don't really dislike the music it's just the abruptness that draws so much attention to it that makes them comment. I hope this helps.
I made this tonight for our tea.. followed it to the letter and it was delicious! We both thought it tasted spot on and the chicken was lovely and crispy. Stunning, got a 10/10 from my missus so thanks for sharing!
I've just discovered this channel - and I am so glad! I love cooking Asian cuisine, best food by far. And it's always a pleasure watching Jeremy! Keep going with these gorgeous recipes! 😊
my dad used to work delivering ice cream to every single business possible. to walmart, kroger, brookshire brothers, prisons, AND YES CHINESE FOOD Restaurants. He told me he saw someone go outside and dip their ladle in the grease outside grease trap, carry it inside and pour it in the wok with all those veggies and whatever. Other than the fact you'd puke from the spell of a grease trap I'D LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE DELICIOUS DISHES NO MATTER THE UNHEALTHY PART OF IT (i.e. using old grease for flavor or whatever while cooking. )
Love it! Decades ago, there was an infomercial featuring the, “hand hammered Chinese wok.” The chef cooked with it on the infomercial, and demonstrated how to push the food up on the sides while cooking the next ingredient in the center, and it looked fantastic. I ordered one, and it turned out to be one of the best cooking utensils I ever owned. I kept for many years. It was easily the best infomercial purchase I ever made, far exceeding my expectations. About the only thing I ever cooked with it was broccoli beef but it was always good.
I just wanted to say that i made this for my family and they absolutely loved it!! I'm also making it for my senior canteen to raise money for our prom!! Thank you so so much for this amazing receipe
Last night I made this dish for friends. I also made a House Fried rice dish from your vids. I was called a LIAR!. Everyone believed that I had ordered out.....HaHaHa If they only knew. I did use Bastmanti rice for the fried rice dish. I know its an expensive rice. But after I cooked it with 3 Cloves. The flavor was off of the Charts !! Thanks guys ! You are the best !!! P.S. I would love to learn how to make a sweet Cherry sauce from scratch if Jeremy has the time... Your Favorite Wok-ee ! Not to be confused with the Star Wars Wook-ee LMAO !
The Asian short grain rice I bought is more expensive than Dawat Basmati Rice. But higher price doesn't mean better, maybe I just don't know how to appreciate it. Desi will always prefer basmatic rice.
Great recipe Jeremy. I tried it but with pork instead of chicken. In my country I cannot get sesame oil so I used olive oil instead. The end result was good despite not having any sesame oil. I had to deep fry the pork a bit longer to get that nice dark crispy exterior though. Served it over some plain rice and it was definitely worth the effort. Thanks Jeremy. Keep up the great work too.
One of the best UA-cam videos I’ve ever watched! Straight to the point! Excellent instructions, & details without all the unnecessary talking that we usually see in most Videos!!!! Great job!
This guy really rocks but his video can really do with out the annoying music cutting in and out everytime he starts and stops speaking. Really ruins the video.
Agree, as much as I want to make this and I know it will be delicious I have to stop the video less than one minutes. Listening to it on and off like that for 14 minutes straight will drive me absolutely insane!
This is wonderful. So easy and delicious. Become a comfort food for the whole family. Not too often as you said not very healthy but cooked occasionally put the smile back to my two moody teenagers. Thank you. 👩🍳👌
Ha! I made this on a whim and it turned out great! Even with no corn flour! Had to use King Arthur flour and yes, it stuck all together but it separated in the pan. Nothing burned, used coconut oil. Chicken was really tender, added steamed broccoli to the veggies. My husband loved it and it looked really pretty. Thank you Jeremy for clear instructions and great info! Bless you!
I need to get myself one of those metal utensils rather than trying to stir fry using a wooden one. Thank you for your cookery lessons, they make me want to eat Chinese food 24 7. 😍
Excellent recipe tried it myself today, at first my son was skeptical when I got him to open the can of pineapple but when the dish was ready his reaction said it all . I especially liked the frying technique which gives the chicken the crunch. The only adjustment I made was , added one and a half red bird chilly . The result was phenomenal with fried veg rice.
I absolutely love Asian style cooking and have been working on learning recipes on my own. Your instructions are going to take me even further. New sub right here, keep up the good work.
1st time viewer subbed and liked. I like that this uses all healthy basic ingredients... no MSG, no prepackaged ingredients where I have no clue what's in it. The video left me craving some of the sweet and sour chicken right now.
I am so excited to try this! The only reason I still order out anymore is occasionally I get a craving for this dish! I am happy with my fried rice & fried ramen noodles with cabbage, but I have *never* been able to get the S&S sauce to taste like the restaurants do... Ketchup?? Who knew?! I am clearly an idiot, I thought it was like Maraschino cherry juice or something, lol. Finally got smart & searched it on YT - yours was the first video I picked & going by the comments, it was a good choice. Gotta go - time to sub & binge watch...thanks! Stay safe everyone! ✌&💞
Wow great video while walking on my treadmill and watching you make this yummy delicious meal, I knew it was time to subscribe lol. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I’m so hungry now lol keep up the great job you’re doing. 🙋♀️👏🏻💃🏼👩🍳🐶❤️🐶
Used to make this for my boys, they loved it.... wanna make it again but they are away for school! Love how simple he makes it. Very well explained. 👍 great work guys!
Made this tonight with tofu for the protein. First time I've cooked with tofu and as dubious as I was it was fantastic. I did cut the sugar back by a spoonful and used a low sugar ketchup and I can't say I missed it. It maybe did make it a bit too vinegary, that does suit me but I appreciate that wouldn't suit everyone.
Omg , i made this yesterday, it was soooo good, i forgot to take a pic tho, my husband and daughter cleaned their plates and asked when i was making it again. I think your lemon chicken is next on our menu , Thank You Jeremy for your amazing recipes , you are the best 🤩
I'm trying to convert some of your recipes into keto friendly. I fear that'll prove difficult with this one (and I so love sweet and sour chicken). I can substitute the sugar with erithritol, but the cornflower and pineapple will be more difficult to substitute. Oh well, I'll figure it out. Thx again for all your lovely recipes. You're still my number one Chinese cooking channel. 👍🏽😉
I've been wanting to make this for months now and finally found you and also finally have every single ingredient in my pantry , Except, I only have chicken cutlets defrosted today !!! God I hope it will still be ok !!
I love all your videos and you to. You enjoy my days. And thanks a lot for what you are and what you do. A Québécoise from Quebec. Have a Nice Day and be proud about all you teach. Celine xx
Jez is adorable. To boot, he presents in such an unpretentious and fun manner, and I actually trust that he made a delicious dish! I love that he mentions that it's not a healthy food, but then again, neither is ice cream; we all have our cravings!
Made this chicken for dinner, added a bit extra of red peppers, kids pinched some of the chicken. Loved it, very easy to make. No more take aways. Chow Main next to try.
Have cooked this several times, so yummy ....Over 10 years ago before I moved my then local did Ho Yo Gai Po battered chicken with pork and vegetables....so delicious, I have yet to see it in other Chinese takeaways or restaurants ...Would love it if you can cook it.
I am sooo glad there’s an English caption because i had a hard time understanding him. Very good tutorial, i will definitely follow his recipe. Thank you.
I spent time in China and learned from a few different chefs. This was the way I was taught taught to make the sweet sour sauce. A dish I wished I could find or learn that I had over there was a thinly sliced boiled beef dish. I had hot peppers, the usual veggies and Sichuan peppercorn. I had it many times in Dalian where our apartment was. Excuse the spelling but I believe it was soya nuroe pian.
I wish the School of Wok had answered you because that dish sounds like something I would enjoy. Lol. Hope you find out what the name is. Good Luck! :)
Just made this at home for my partner, who is coeliac. If you ignore the difference between light and dark soy sauce, then gluten free really isn't a problem here,. I'm really pleased with how well it turned out, even for a first attempt. Given the high sugar content, this will be kept on the "infrequently" list, but I have definitely been taught how to do the crusting, for which thank you!
Great works Jeremy. Aye I found through the years, I'll be using wooden chopsticks for wok cooking - for turning things over, stirring etc. Great tool to use on BBQs too. And for those who have nonstick pans.
Hi Jeremy I live in the twin islands of Trinidad and Tobago and we LOVE CHINESE FOOD IN THE CARIBBEAN so thanks you for your simple videos on cokking chinese food .I wld like to see you bake pork belly with crackling skin. Thanks again keep cooking my friend its yr passion. God bless you all
This is the Second time I've Made this for Myself, Both Times Only the Sauce though. I say Only myself cuz my husband is a Diabetic so he's not able to have the Sugar. But the only 2 times that I've had time to make a Second meal in give or take 6 months for Myself, I've Chosed this Sauce. It Really hits Home for me and Most ppl already have the 3-4 ingredients for it already. I love it , and tonight is my 2nd night getting to have it, at Midnight lol. Thank you dear 👌👌👍👍😁
can you please show us how to make lemon chicken , I did sweet and sour chicken many times exactly like we have in a restaurant . Thank you Isabell from Malta
I am also a big fan of Lemon Chicken. btw, its certainly a great idea to make Chinese yourself, it generally tastes far better and you know exactly what’s in it.
Great recipe, have made this a few times now and gets better every time. But can you post a video on how to juggle making a meal for 4 people of more than one dish please? It’s all I can do to put the rice on and then make ONE dish! What tips do you have for making two or three dishes and bringing them altogether ready at the same time? Can you post a video? Cheers, John
Nice tip about the chopsticks in oil. Does this only work for the disposable bare wood chopsticks? All the wooden chopsticks I have are decorated, and have some sort of varnish, so I guess they're not suitable?
Hi, thanks for the comment! This tip works only works with things that are bare wood i.e. disposable chopsticks (as you mentioned), bamboo skewers etc.. Hope this helps!
Thanks Jeremy. Great suggestion to just use bamboo skewers too, didn't think of that! Really enjoyed your dim sum course a year or two ago, hoping to catch your Thai course when Im in London at some point. Wok on!
Fun little experiment with cornflour: Add a few tablespoons to a bowl, then drip in some water until you get a semi-solid consistency. In that state you can hit it with your finger tip and it will feel solid, but if you slowly push your finger into it, it will feel like a thick liquid. Similarly you can pour it onto your palm where it will immediately dry, then turn your palm over and that dryness will start to drip. Weird stuff. There was a thing on UK TV where they filled a swimming pool with custard (using a cornflour base) to illustrate the same weirdness on a massive scale. Worth a look.
Really good. I did your chicken and black bean last night, which was excellent. I felt I needed a touch more cooking wine when tasting to give it that bite, which worked. Will attempt my amateurish version of this recipe in a couple of days!
Jeremy, what have you done. I’m constantly pressured now by friends to make this sweet and sour chicken. Wanted to say a big thank you, you were my gateway to the wok cooking. I’m appreciated that you explain how to do it and more importantly WHY to do it. This is what separates okay teachers from great ones. The times are hard, but your food makes us forget it at lest for the dinner. With love from Ukraine.
I love anything and everything that Jeremy does. His channel has taught me so much about cooking. Now, I am not intimidated to cook at home and try new recipes, because it's just TOO EXPENSIVE in America to eat out much anymore. Yeah, small cheap burgers, but not meals like this.
Hello, I’m trying this tomorrow, it looks amazing! I’m really confused as to whether add flour and water to the batter as most other chefs had or not. How much would it differ?
Look; I am a Mestizo native born in S. Texas raised by excellent English speaking German teachers. This is an excellent Sweet N Sour chicken recipe! I was raised also by a grocery store owning family. I love to speak English and to cook. I find it grating that this Asian kid has a British accent! I think I, NOW, know why some of the Anglos held me and my English in such disdain. It seemed like I had abandoned my Hispanic heritage as I held on to perfect English pronunciation. There may be some truth to that. It first appeared to be racism; now I understand it to be disdain for apparent lack of cultural pride. Nothing could be further from the truth. Only; MY culture, includes appreciation for Germans and English and Spanish and Mestizo. It is not Only Mestizo.
@@SchoolofWok love the videos, amazing recipes. I wonder though do you have have any videos that cover more traditional, less Americanized recipes? Did I just not see them?
I made this dish for the first time tonight as my first ever venture into Chinese cooking and it was the best sweet & sour chicken I've ever had. Thank you for the inspiration !
Can you please share the measurements of the items, cannot find it on his link either, it is not at all user friendly or maybe he doesn’t want to give out measurements. He did for the marinade but didn’t say how much chicken he used. Wanted to make it tonight for dinner but will try a different recipe ☹️
highly watchable and informative video thank you, my kids will love this, as will I.....presenter is spot on but background music could do with lowering.
I just made this tonight and it was wonderful! The instructions were clear and simple, which is, in my humble opinion, the hallmark of authentic home cooking. Thank you!
Last week it was your fabulously delicious Chow Mien, and tonight was this utterly superb Sweet and sour Chicken. I was sceptical about the corn starch at first, but it was a perfect grease free way of cooking. It looked amazing on the plate, colourful, fresh and tasted amazing. Well done!
Hi Jeremy😊 I love chinese food. Yet im not chinese😃 i prepared this Sweet n Sour Chicken dish. Believe me it turned out do deliciously yummmm. My family n friends loved it. I had to be honest to let them know that Jerrmy was behind it😘 coz it was truly yummmm. Your demonstration and explanation was simple and very clear. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Have a great day.😊
I'm late to the party/channel, by my word I'm glad I'm here. I just made this, and it was nothing less than superb. Better than anything I've ever sampled in a restaurant, sincerely. I've even got my wok toss nailed.
Awsome video! One of the best "how to" cooking videos I've come across. Nothing is particularly difficult, but it's all about timing, temperature, and those small details that takes it to another level.
I've tried a few S&S recipe's and this by far is the best!. I have cooked this several times now over the past few months as it is a great family favourite. We tend to double up on the sauce as we all like a lot....make sure we brush teeth at the end of the night lol. Thanks for the video, I'm going to try something else from your channel now :) G
We made this last night but with tofu and used flaxseeds with water as a binding agent (Vegan) and it came out amazing! love this channel! going to try more dishes all the time! Thanks for the good Video school of rock. Subbed!
This is a good recipe, however, using your hands to mixed the chicken once cornflour is added often makes the mix go lumpy.. therefore, I have overcome this buy simply covering the bowl with a plate, hold the plate and bowl firmly in place, then give this a good couple of shakes, then this keeps this stage o the process fully intact perfectly 😋 😁👍🏾

I think Jeremy needs a Food Network show of his own. Great screen presence, well spoken, and a talented chef. Amazing!
Food Network would make a great show into a typical pedestrian piece of network garbage. Dont sell out Jeremy :)
I think the show would be much better without the distracting music going up and down in volume…
Love your cooking. You teach the dish so well. Thanks for this recipe and am going to try it and also share it on WhattsApp.
His cadence and accent when he speaks reminds me exactly of Heston.
And he is so cute 😅

Ketchup is actually a pretty common ingredient in Chinese cooking! Who'd have thought it? Thanks for the sub!
Wow great video while walking on my treadmill and watching you make this yummy delicious meal, I knew it was time to subscribe lol. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I’m so hungry now lol keep up the great job you’re doing. 🙋♀️👏🏻💃🏼👩🍳🐶❤️🐶
Thanks! - Lee
Used to make this for my boys, they loved it.... wanna make it again but they are away for school! Love how simple he makes it. Very well explained. 👍 great work guys!
Loving it so far. I' hungry
It' awesome
When i found your channel, i instantely wanted to cook everything you show here :'D just made the chicken sweet sour and its amazing. Thank you!
Glad to hear it! - Lee
Made this tonight with tofu for the protein. First time I've cooked with tofu and as dubious as I was it was fantastic. I did cut the sugar back by a spoonful and used a low sugar ketchup and I can't say I missed it. It maybe did make it a bit too vinegary, that does suit me but I appreciate that wouldn't suit everyone.
It works really well with tofu! - Lee
I press overnite and slightly soy or flavor my tofus...
Of course this goes back to my buying fresh blocks from a chinese deli
Omg , i made this yesterday, it was soooo good, i forgot to take a pic tho, my husband and daughter cleaned their plates and asked when i was making it again. I think your lemon chicken is next on our menu , Thank You Jeremy for your amazing recipes , you are the best 🤩
Brilliant! I hope you all enjoy the lemon chicken just as much!
I will take pics of the lemon chicken when i make it x
I'm trying to convert some of your recipes into keto friendly. I fear that'll prove difficult with this one (and I so love sweet and sour chicken). I can substitute the sugar with erithritol, but the cornflower and pineapple will be more difficult to substitute. Oh well, I'll figure it out. Thx again for all your lovely recipes. You're still my number one Chinese cooking channel. 👍🏽😉
We had another viewer that used to convert our recipes to keto! It can certainly be done, good luck! - Lee
I've been wanting to make this for months now and finally found you and also finally have every single ingredient in my pantry , Except, I only have chicken cutlets defrosted today !!! God I hope it will still be ok !!
How did it turn out? - Lee
I love all your videos and you to. You enjoy my days. And thanks a lot for what you are and what you do. A Québécoise from Quebec.
Have a Nice Day and be proud about all you teach.

Thank you! Glad you enjoy the content!
Jez is adorable. To boot, he presents in such an unpretentious and fun manner, and I actually trust that he made a delicious dish! I love that he mentions that it's not a healthy food, but then again, neither is ice cream; we all have our cravings!
The food is always sooo good! - Lee
Made this chicken for dinner, added a bit extra of red peppers, kids pinched some of the chicken. Loved it, very easy to make. No more take aways. Chow Main next to try.
Glad you and the family enjoyed it! - Lee
great production, delivery, explanations and narration...oh, and I liked the music, too. superb!
Thanks, Nancy! - Lee
Have cooked this several times, so yummy ....Over 10 years ago before I moved my then local did Ho Yo Gai Po battered chicken with pork and vegetables....so delicious, I have yet to see it in other Chinese takeaways or restaurants ...Would love it if you can cook it.
I'll add it to our suggestions! - Lee
@@SchoolofWok Thank you
I love watching you and the others too for sharing your skills and talents, thank you and God bless you
Thank you! - Lee

I am sooo glad there’s an English caption because i had a hard time understanding him. Very good tutorial, i will definitely follow his recipe. Thank you.
Thanks! - Lee
I'm surprised as I'm english and Jeremy speaks beautifully.
I spent time in China and learned from a few different chefs. This was the way I was taught taught to make the sweet sour sauce.
A dish I wished I could find or learn that I had over there was a thinly sliced boiled beef dish. I had hot peppers, the usual veggies and Sichuan peppercorn. I had it many times in Dalian where our apartment was. Excuse the spelling but I believe it was soya nuroe pian.
I wish the School of Wok had answered you because that dish sounds like something I would enjoy. Lol. Hope you find out what the name is. Good Luck! :)
Just made this at home for my partner, who is coeliac. If you ignore the difference between light and dark soy sauce, then gluten free really isn't a problem here,. I'm really pleased with how well it turned out, even for a first attempt. Given the high sugar content, this will be kept on the "infrequently" list, but I have definitely been taught how to do the crusting, for which thank you!
Use sugar substitute like Xylitol or Erythritol
Great video gonna try this soon. Would really like your version of a hot and sour soup, my favourite standard test of a good takeaway. Cheers
Thank you! We're going to do a hot and sour soup video at some point so stay tuned! - Lee
Great works Jeremy.
Aye I found through the years, I'll be using wooden chopsticks for wok cooking - for turning things over, stirring etc. Great tool to use on BBQs too.
And for those who have nonstick pans.
Hi Jeremy I live in the twin islands of Trinidad and Tobago and we LOVE CHINESE FOOD IN THE CARIBBEAN so thanks you for your simple videos on cokking chinese food .I wld like to see you bake pork belly with crackling skin. Thanks again keep cooking my friend its yr passion. God bless you all
Oh boy, Jenny, do I have a treat for you. ua-cam.com/video/Nhv29vjqFzA/v-deo.html - Lee
Thank you Jeremy I am gonna try it and see how good I can cook chinese. lol
Thanks for your dedication and hard work on this recipe 😘 ❤ easy Chinese sweet and sour chicken
Thanks! - Lee
This is the Second time I've Made this for Myself, Both Times Only the Sauce though. I say Only myself cuz my husband is a Diabetic so he's not able to have the Sugar. But the only 2 times that I've had time to make a Second meal in give or take 6 months for Myself, I've Chosed this Sauce. It Really hits Home for me and Most ppl already have the 3-4 ingredients for it already. I love it , and tonight is my 2nd night getting to have it, at Midnight lol. Thank you dear 👌👌👍👍😁
Glad you enjoy it! - Lee
Ya gotto love the clever display on the wall. You can never have too many!
We need a lot of them! - Lee
Please give me in one of your videos the essential utensils and sauces besides wok needed for basic Chinese cooking. Thanks for the great recipe.🤗🙏
can you please show us how to make lemon chicken , I did sweet and sour chicken many times exactly like we have in a restaurant . Thank you Isabell from Malta
Hi Isabella, I will put your suggestion forward to the team. Thanks for the comment! - Lee
I am also a big fan of Lemon Chicken. btw, its certainly a great idea to make Chinese yourself, it generally tastes far better and you know exactly what’s in it.
I like Lemon chicken myself.. )))
Yes lemon chicken please thanks
@@SchoolofWok Hi please include orange chicken too. Thanks =)
Great recipe, have made this a few times now and gets better every time. But can you post a video on how to juggle making a meal for 4 people of more than one dish please? It’s all I can do to put the rice on and then make ONE dish! What tips do you have for making two or three dishes and bringing them altogether ready at the same time? Can you post a video? Cheers, John
Nice tip about the chopsticks in oil. Does this only work for the disposable bare wood chopsticks? All the wooden chopsticks I have are decorated, and have some sort of varnish, so I guess they're not suitable?
Hi, thanks for the comment! This tip works only works with things that are bare wood i.e. disposable chopsticks (as you mentioned), bamboo skewers etc.. Hope this helps!
Thanks Jeremy. Great suggestion to just use bamboo skewers too, didn't think of that! Really enjoyed your dim sum course a year or two ago, hoping to catch your Thai course when Im in London at some point. Wok on!
I love people who can TEACH❗️and you can! I am going to try to make Sweet and Sour Chicken!
Wish me luck! Thanks. 🇺🇸
Reminds me of Gordan Ramsey, but in chinese.
That is the greatest compliment you can give. - Lee
School of Wok Personally I think you are much better than Mr Ramsey, you don’t yell and swear for absolutely no reason.
No shit, it's like comparing abraham lincoln against James Buchanan..
He, with his accent, reminds me more of an Asian Jamie Oliver.
But he's speaking English
Fun little experiment with cornflour: Add a few tablespoons to a bowl, then drip in some water until you get a semi-solid consistency. In that state you can hit it with your finger tip and it will feel solid, but if you slowly push your finger into it, it will feel like a thick liquid. Similarly you can pour it onto your palm where it will immediately dry, then turn your palm over and that dryness will start to drip. Weird stuff. There was a thing on UK TV where they filled a swimming pool with custard (using a cornflour base) to illustrate the same weirdness on a massive scale. Worth a look.
Thank you, after one hour chasing for a good recipe, I have finally found your video. 👍
Thank you for the feedback!
Let me just say that the chicken was so good there was nothing left for the dish!! It was delicious 😋
Great stuff! You should try our General Tso's recipe! - Lee
Jeremy always makes it look easy. Great video!
That's because it is easy! Try it and let us know how it goes!
Really good. I did your chicken and black bean last night, which was excellent. I felt I needed a touch more cooking wine when tasting to give it that bite, which worked. Will attempt my amateurish version of this recipe in a couple of days!
I just made this it was amazing!!!!
It's delicious, isn't it! - Lee
Jeremy, what have you done. I’m constantly pressured now by friends to make this sweet and sour chicken.
Wanted to say a big thank you, you were my gateway to the wok cooking. I’m appreciated that you explain how to do it and more importantly WHY to do it. This is what separates okay teachers from great ones.
The times are hard, but your food makes us forget it at lest for the dinner. With love from Ukraine.
Thank you, comments like these are what keeps us going. - YOLO
Chef that was a geat lession thank you
How much fun am I having, just made my first sweet and sour chicken, tastes so nice. Thank you Jeremy you've inspired me to try other recipes.
Wonderful, glad to hear it! - Lee
I've just made this and it was amazing thank you
Excellent, glad you enjoyed it! - Lee
Just cooked it and it’s amazing. Really is real sweet and sour chicken. Never cooked it before but this is the best 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! - Chris
I’m going to give this a go soon. I love cooking with a Wok, I think it’s fast and no nonsense.
Thanks for sharing this awesome information.
Let us know when you make it! - Lee
I love anything and everything that Jeremy does. His channel has taught me so much about cooking. Now, I am not intimidated to cook at home and try new recipes, because it's just TOO EXPENSIVE in America to eat out much anymore. Yeah, small cheap burgers, but not meals like this.
Hello,
I’m trying this tomorrow, it looks amazing! I’m really confused as to whether add flour and water to the batter as most other chefs had or not. How much would it differ?
If you cook it like we do, it'll be fine!
Look; I am a Mestizo native born in S. Texas raised by excellent English speaking German teachers. This is an excellent Sweet N Sour chicken recipe! I was raised also by a grocery store owning family. I love to speak English and to cook. I find it grating that this Asian kid has a British accent! I think I, NOW, know why some of the Anglos held me and my English in such disdain. It seemed like I had abandoned my Hispanic heritage as I held on to perfect English pronunciation. There may be some truth to that. It first appeared to be racism; now I understand it to be disdain for apparent lack of cultural pride. Nothing could be further from the truth. Only; MY culture, includes appreciation for Germans and English and Spanish and Mestizo. It is not Only Mestizo.
:::Diabeetus intensifies:::
Id still eat this and die happy 😊
You'll be fine if you eat it in moderation hahah - Lee
@@SchoolofWok love the videos, amazing recipes. I wonder though do you have have any videos that cover more traditional, less Americanized recipes? Did I just not see them?
I made this dish for the first time tonight as my first ever venture into Chinese cooking and it was the best sweet & sour chicken I've ever had. Thank you for the inspiration !
Can you please share the measurements of the items, cannot find it on his link either, it is not at all user friendly or maybe he doesn’t want to give out measurements. He did for the marinade but didn’t say how much chicken he used. Wanted to make it tonight for dinner but will try a different recipe ☹️
ok, it's a year old, but this just earned a Subscribe
Good stuff, Greg! - Lee
I'm learning some Chinese cooking after decades of wanting to. I'm loving your channel, am learning a lot. Thank you ever so much.
highly watchable and informative video thank you, my kids will love this, as will I.....presenter is spot on but background music could do with lowering.
Thanks! The music levels have been sorted in our latest content! - Lee
MrFlyingguy redznn😁🤦🏻♀️
Just made this for breakfast at 5:30 in the morning and it was a winner!!!
Seems easy. I must try making my own sauces rather than a packet and which meals need rice.
Now I wannna fill my swimming pool with cornflour 😩
Run, baby, run!
I just made this tonight and it was wonderful! The instructions were clear and simple, which is, in my humble opinion, the hallmark of authentic home cooking. Thank you!
Glad to hear it! - Lee
Chef great recipe. Please hold the music, it’s very distracting.
Thanks! There is no longer music in our videos - Lee
Hey, what type of. Wok. Burner. Is that? Make And model?
Last week it was your fabulously delicious Chow Mien, and tonight was this utterly superb Sweet and sour Chicken. I was sceptical about the corn starch at first, but it was a perfect grease free way of cooking. It looked amazing on the plate, colourful, fresh and tasted amazing. Well done!
orange chicken pliiiiissss
I'll put your suggestion forward to the team! - Lee
My daughter asked me to cook Chow mein and you helped me to check the Chinese version... Thanks for sharing your recipes.
God bless you.!!!
Glad we could help! - Lee
@@SchoolofWok amazing...I don't know where you are... I am in Guatemala, Central America... I hope I didn't wake you up.
another great video, enjoyed it. Am I right in saying this is Hong Kong" style ?
Yes, this is a Hong Kong style sweet and sour! - Lee - Lee
Hi Jeremy😊 I love chinese food. Yet im not chinese😃 i prepared this Sweet n Sour Chicken dish. Believe me it turned out do deliciously yummmm. My family n friends loved it. I had to be honest to let them know that Jerrmy was behind it😘 coz it was truly yummmm. Your demonstration and explanation was simple and very clear. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Have a great day.😊
Glad to hear it Carmen! Have a good day! - Lee
You rock!
Wok and roll, Peter!
Ha, ha, I was just thinking he just missed a very important opportunity to say, You Wok!
I'm late to the party/channel, by my word I'm glad I'm here.
I just made this, and it was nothing less than superb. Better than anything I've ever sampled in a restaurant, sincerely. I've even got my wok toss nailed.
Excellent, glad you enjoyed it!
Is corn flour different from corn starch?
No, we just call it that in the UK - Lee
In America it's called corn starch and in Australia and England they call it corn flour. I saw that in another video on UA-cam.
Awsome video! One of the best "how to" cooking videos I've come across. Nothing is particularly difficult, but it's all about timing, temperature, and those small details that takes it to another level.
Lol crouching down does make you look chef-life
im officially renaming the sneak button in skyrim to the "chef" button
I've tried a few S&S recipe's and this by far is the best!. I have cooked this several times now over the past few months as it is a great family favourite. We tend to double up on the sauce as we all like a lot....make sure we brush teeth at the end of the night lol. Thanks for the video, I'm going to try something else from your channel now :) G
ur the man bro
No, YOU the man
Just did this myself. Oh my.......this was absolutely great!!! Thanks for the recipe!!!
Brilliant, glad you enjoyed it! - Chris
We made this last night but with tofu and used flaxseeds with water as a binding agent (Vegan) and it came out amazing! love this channel! going to try more dishes all the time! Thanks for the good Video school of rock. Subbed!
Excellent! Glad you enjoyed it!
This is a good recipe, however, using your hands to mixed the chicken once cornflour is added often makes the mix go lumpy.. therefore, I have overcome this buy simply covering the bowl with a plate, hold the plate and bowl firmly in place, then give this a good couple of shakes, then this keeps this stage o the process fully intact perfectly 😋 😁👍🏾
