Hey there, quick question: If I were to add coconut milk to this paste, how much should I use and when would be the best time to add it please? Or would you not recommend adding any at all? Great vid as always... your mum is such a sweet lady too!

Ziang's Food Workshop first time I’ve watched your show, I’m now hocked. PLEASE PLEASE why can’t you sell your own curry I would buy it in a flash. I can’t make it truly I have lost the use of one hand Thank you . good luck with your video.
Glad we could help, these really are secrets of the trade that are secrets for no reason, 99% of people will just buy a takeaway even when they know how to do it them seleves because its nice not to cook sometimes, I see no harm in telling people :)
@Mark K thanks you :) we are a new channel and very happy with the growth we are seeing :) maybe one-day we can do this full time, but until the I'll just cry myself to sleep lol
I have both of your books now. The first one for my birthday, which you very kindly signed. (Richard) The second one I received yesterday for Christmas. Wishing you and mum a great Christmas an new year.
Thanks Chin and Choo! I made the curry sauce last night and tried it today, using prawns. What can I say! The most authentic ' takeaway' sauce ever. If that's the taste you like,then this sauce is for you. Love it Mick Johnson
Thank you for your comment Ziang! I never thought of pausing the video lol - silly me! You got a lovely mum! She has a beautiful smile! Ishall watch some more ofyour videos when i get time, as i do love Chinese food! Rosina Lock
Love your channel, love your Mum and the banter between you. Purchased my Ziangs cook book and all my ingredients from you and all set to go, Thank you for uploading these helpful videos can’t wait to get started.
I really enjoyed, how you simplified the cooking, you're so easy to understand and I appreciate the love and respect, you both have for each other, I wish my mother was still around! Thank you very much and best of luck for your shop and business! I'm fairly certain that you will both succeed!
In Cajun food, we cook flour in oil (or butter or another fat) to form a paste like this called roux and cook it until it's the color of chocolate, then add vegetables (celery, onion, and bell pepper). It's the most important part in making foods like gumbo and etouffee
I have just ordered my second batch my family and I LOVED this paste , it was so flavoursome and affordable. Definitely the best Chinese curry paste on the market thanks so much (I also loved the satay sauce,great for noodles)😊❤❤
Thank u so much i have been searching for this for yonks. I love u 2. U young man are hilarious u have the most cheeky cute laugh n smile i could imagine u being a right laugh at school assembley. Adore u both so glad i am a new subscriber. Love to ur gorgeous mumma. Xxx
I Adore your wee mummy, she’s so sweet and follows along with whatever you say, god bless her. You’re a lucky man, treasure her, enjoy your little Rants at each other. You can see the love between mum & son. I’m going to try making this curry paste next Saturday 27th April for a family gathering. Any advice on spice level? We all like our curry towards the spicy side, but not too hot. Spicy enough that you can taste everything but not burn your mouth out. Michelle. North Of Ireland🇮🇪
Wow this is really amazing! It's so interesting how different cultures make curries and curry pastes. This is like a spiced roux, and this gives me some inspiration for a Puerto Rican style gumbo 💓💓💓
We to be honest the Chinese don't really eat curry, this was invented to compete with Indian takeaways that's started popping up in the mid 70s, but yeah it's completely different to most curries
I really enjoy watching you guys, you are both so loveable and, together, are just awesome! Keep sharing those secrets. This is going to cost me an arm and a leg from America but i'm going to give it a go!
Thank-you for your time and the effort that you both do in making these Video's also love the Fact that you take the time to answer the question that you are asked , not many do answer questions.
Visit our webstore www.chinandchoo.com/shop to buy the actual ingredients that the Chinese Takeaway use in quantities suitable for the home chef. Also, you can register interest in our Chinese Takeaway Cook Book that’s basically a manual on how to run a takeaway. Happy cooking, happy eating, Chin and Choo xxx
Hey guys i made this curry resipe from your book which seems to have a lot more ingredience for the amount of oil used in this resipe. I had to keep adding oil but i didnt seem to work as well as this resipe which i cooked also and it came out perfect...should yer resipe in the book say 2ltrs ?
This is the real deal. I coaxed the recipe out of a Chinese restaurant chef before and this was the exact process he described. Thanks for putting this on video guys. Its a tricky looking dish but I will have a go someday!
This looks good I’m going to give this a try. Some Chinese takeaways curry taste like aniseed and it’s overpowering so I think I would leave star anise out too 😃
not sure you'll get this after 4years but how much curry powder do you put in as id like to try and make your recipe? love the videos, tried a few and they all taste great...thanks
I am struggling to believe how much work goes into making the curry sauce... I will never take curry sauce for granted ever again lol... amazing... think I’ll just go collect my curry sauce and try making a few dishes to go with it lol 😂
Can't ask on Facebook because I'm in the middle of yet another ban, but can I ask, is it green cardamom you use in the recipe? I have everything else in except for that so want to make sure I get the right one. It's blimmin dear!
@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop excellent, cheers. Thought it would be. This one has a much more manageable amount than the best curry paste 😬. I have some in but not enough, lol
Stumbled onto this page a while back... but only just started watching... great videos.. I use a different recipe that takes a few mins to make, but it's quite watery, think I need to put some time in and try this way
My Ziangs Chinese cookbook arrived today. Been out buying ingredients for making my own curry paste to your new recipe. Can you verify that it is 150g of whole cardamom. It just seems rather a lot. Please advise. Great book. Have a great Christmas 🎄
I absolutely love this channel. You and your mum are great . Is your book still available and how much would it cost signed to me by you and your wonderful mum??
Hey thanks for your great channel I made this paste yesterday and my neighbours commented on the delicious smell ! It’s in the pan and has the layer of oil on top now how long shall I leave it out on the counter (not in fridge) before I transfer it to fridge for storage ? Also when I transfer it to a storage container from pan does it matter if oil gets mixed up as I’ll have to spoon it out
Hi this is a great base sauce as Chin says, other ingredients that you can experiment with is, star anise, clove, dried orange peel, and coconut, but even that’s not exhaustive. It’s as it says a base. You can add chilli on top of the curry powder but in my humble opinion it’s best to leave the heat of the base lower and then when you’re making your curry up you can add fresh chilli all you want but you can still do a mild curry if you wish. You can put in but you can’t take it out! Just go steady with the addition of other aromats and enjoy. Also, use the msg, soy sauce and extra sugar at the point of cooking your chicken, pork, beef, seafood, and veg yum Thankyou for this gem. As to when the flour is cooked out I find texture and taste my guidance, but how to put that in words I must admit I’m stumped. Experience goes a long way. Enjoy. Xx
Thanks Dave :) and yes, its so hard to explain when its ready as timing doesn't work as its different every time, the only way to nail it is to do it over and over again.
Have tried a couple of your recipes now and they are great, especially the beef in black bean, better than most restaurants we’ve had it in. One question on this curry sauce, your ingredients at the end list that you use star anis and cloves, would you put these hard spices in at the beginning with the cinnamon stick?? Will be definitely trying, thanks.
I've made my base oil tonight. Was going to make the paste but was quite short on the cardamom and fennel so had to order some. Hopefully this coming Friday I will be in the kitchen making the paste and then the following week I'll make a nice chicken curry but will add some chilli, I like my curry very spicy 😋 👌
Great vids guys,gona visit my Chinese supermarket this wk end and buy lots of ingredients you guys have got me back in to Chinese cooking again after a long break,realy exited to start cooking for my friends all the best,and keep those vids rolling.
Hi, thanks for sharing your videos. Have followed your curry paste recipe and used it to make a chicken curry, while it tastes great, the curry sauce is quite gritty even after putting through sieve. Whats the cause and what's the remedy? P.S. your mums a legend! 👍
Having me first attempt at cooking this at the weekend. Will the paste be ok left out for 2 days to mature at room temperature, just concerned with the warm temperatures at the moment!
Hi guy, love the videos, I am going to try your recipes but can I make this curry paste recipe without the litre of oil? Can I use less oil or substitute something else with less calories?
@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop Thanks very much, excited about making these, going to try your chicken balls and fried rice tonight, thanks for the videos, you're both legends :-)
Sorry to ask. Love your shows, but as I watch more of your stuff I wonder: You often say "other restaurants do this" and "other restaurants do that" It makes me wonder: - do you takeaway guys all share recipes? I wouldn't be telling my competition my recipes lol - did your mum work this out herself? And if she did, wow! But then how do the other takeaways work out their own recipes and get it all similar? Only reason I ask is, I try to work out this recipe stuff myself and I would never have a hope in a month of Sundays lol Anyway, loving you both. You do great together - not only for us, but just the lovely way you are together it's totally amazing And we all need some "Choo-Choo" in our lives lol Keep up the good work and I'll enjoy going thru your back catalogue now that I've found you guys ❤️👍
Remember I’m a 5tb gen chef and 3rd gen takeaway owner, my mum was passed hers down my my grand parents, and no one shares, hence why they can be so different from place too place
Hello, thank you for the great video. You and your mum are so cute as a team. Can you tell me when I take the cinnamon stick out? Also when do you add in the star anaseed and cloves if I was to use them?
Thanks Chin/Choo for sharing your basic curry paste method and fun style video. Catering Eastern Star has always posed a problem for the home cook. 10kg - £40. Lasts quite awhile.😊
Chin, please makes sure we Yanks can get get some of that curry powder when you do! Hahaha! (Actually I’d probably split a full tin with anyone else here stateside). Enjoying the channel tremendously. Choo, you’re a star! 😎. Edit: C&C, it just hit me that basically you’re making a curry roux, I learned how to cook in New Orleans and a good mahogany colored roux easily takes as much time as that spent by you both making your base paste.
Geo E. Thats excatly what we're doing, the base of a curry bechamel 😊😊 that tub must of cost a fortune in shipping to get state side! If you ever want us to get you another let us know 😊
Chin! Actually I wasn't able to find a tin or distributor here in the States, and yes shipping was appalling from the UK (God Save the Queen!) so when you open your website I'll be looking for it on there! I think a 22 pound tin of curry powder would be enough to last me a lifetime or two but it would definitely get used up fueling a few rugby teams with massive amount of curry! As you know a béchamel uses butter/milk as its base but a good ole New Orleans roux is based on lard and in your case yours is based on oil...Regardless your comment about "Do not Splash this on yourself" is spot on as its pretty much food grade napalm! ;)
Thank you both for a fantastic video and being able to see your teeny tiny Mum! She's a lovely lady! I have a question...Is there a substitute oil that we could use as we do not eat Hydrogenated vegetable oils at all we use coconut oil for cooking but not sure if that would be ok for this recipe. We live in a really remote area where there are no decent Chinese takeaways so would really like to have a go at making our own. Thanks again, much love to you both. :)
Hi great video. I'm struggling to find the follow up on how to use the paste. Absolutely adore Chinese curry and want to learn how to make it authentically. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
You can get our Chinses Takeaway Cooking Bible as an eCookbook on amazon kindle app here: amzn.to/3ebLYLZ
Hey there, quick question: If I were to add coconut milk to this paste, how much should I use and when would be the best time to add it please? Or would you not recommend adding any at all? Great vid as always... your mum is such a sweet lady too!

Keep up the good work and I'll enjoy going thru your back catalogue now that I've found you guys ❤️👍
Remember I’m a 5tb gen chef and 3rd gen takeaway owner, my mum was passed hers down my my grand parents, and no one shares, hence why they can be so different from place too place
Have I missed what you did with the first part of the recipe ,I didn't see you add it in thanks
I recently subscribed to your channel, thank you & your mum for teaching me the recipe, I'm making it as I type this thank you again 👍
Thank you, glad you like our content
@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop do I leave it in the pot for 2 days or can I put it in the fridge, it's been in the pot overnight?
Is they any chicken curry spice recipes
Hello, thank you for the great video. You and your mum are so cute as a team. Can you tell me when I take the cinnamon stick out? Also when do you add in the star anaseed and cloves if I was to use them?
The ectra spices go in with the oil as the base and the stick come out with all the other ingredients
How do I make the Red, Hong Kong, Beef Curry, please, its simply amazing but there do not seem to be many Chinese chip shops that actually do it.
Thank for this fab video but I can’t find how much curry powder in the recipe.
400g
Great vids guys.is there a wheat free substitute for eastern star curry powder
No sorry, there isn't, but id used any other malaysian curry powder, it wont be the same but its the next best thing
It Looks amazing
Thanks :)
Thanks Chin/Choo for sharing your basic curry paste method
and fun style video. Catering Eastern Star has always posed
a problem for the home cook. 10kg - £40. Lasts quite awhile.😊
lol yeah it doesn, will be selling in small quantities on our web site is up (hopefully soon)
Chin, please makes sure we Yanks can get get some of that curry powder when you do! Hahaha! (Actually I’d probably split a full tin with anyone else here stateside). Enjoying the channel tremendously. Choo, you’re a star! 😎. Edit: C&C, it just hit me that basically you’re making a curry roux, I learned how to cook in New Orleans and a good mahogany colored roux easily takes as much time as that spent by you both making your base paste.
Geo E. Thats excatly what we're doing, the base of a curry bechamel 😊😊 that tub must of cost a fortune in shipping to get state side! If you ever want us to get you another let us know 😊
Chin! Actually I wasn't able to find a tin or distributor here in the States, and yes shipping was appalling from the UK (God Save the Queen!) so when you open your website I'll be looking for it on there! I think a 22 pound tin of curry powder would be enough to last me a lifetime or two but it would definitely get used up fueling a few rugby teams with massive amount of curry! As you know a béchamel uses butter/milk as its base but a good ole New Orleans roux is based on lard and in your case yours is based on oil...Regardless your comment about "Do not Splash this on yourself" is spot on as its pretty much food grade napalm! ;)
Hi first of all,what a awesome channel. I would love to see you make Hong Kong style chicken please.thanks
Thank you and already done :)
Hi 🙋🏻 Chin & Choo , love your YT show’s 👊👊 what variation would you do to this paste if this is a basic one ☝️
Awesome paste BTW 👍
We just posted the best version in our shorts channel Ziangs #Shorts 😊
@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop big hugs for you guys 😍
I was wondering how much curry powder to use please
400g
Thank you both for a fantastic video and being able to see your teeny tiny Mum! She's a lovely lady! I have a question...Is there a substitute oil that we could use as we do not eat Hydrogenated vegetable oils at all we use coconut oil for cooking but not sure if that would be ok for this recipe. We live in a really remote area where there are no decent Chinese takeaways so would really like to have a go at making our own. Thanks again, much love to you both. :)
😊😊😊😊
Coconut oil is really bad for you but any non flavoured oil will do :)
Great video thanks for sharing this, been looking so long for a proper curry recipe🤗
No worries
might sound totally thick as sh*t but what do you do with the paste to make it a sauce ?? ... i'm guessing water?
Got another video explaining that 😊
Wow thanks guys learned a lot from your channel
Thanks :)
Hi have you tried this, if so is it any good, Goldfish Chinese Curry Sauce 405G , thank you great show.
We havent tried it yet but we will
Hi great video. I'm struggling to find the follow up on how to use the paste. Absolutely adore Chinese curry and want to learn how to make it authentically. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks:) and here's the link ua-cam.com/video/Lzs50xxXN1g/v-deo.html
