    This has got to be one who has the best look and presentation. As an Asian from Malaysia who is currently on lockdown due to Covid-19, this is the recipe I need. Stop searching for sweet and sour chicken recipe because this is it!! This is it!

    So happy I've discovered your channel. I probably won't need any other recipe sites for ages now! I'm cooking this recipe for dinner tonight and ordering ingredients for quite a few more for the coming week. I love how straightforward your instructions are and how easy the dishes are to put together. No waffle either - which is a HUGE bonus! Videos that are under 5 mins are right up my street and you've taken so much legwork out of my weekly meal plans. Thank you for doing these videos - they're a huge help. xx

    I cooked this tonight and it was a big hit.
    It's amazing that although the sauce is mostly ketchup, it really tastes like proper restaurant sweet and sour. In fact, think I like it more than the restaurant kind because I find the restaurant kind can be a bit too "sour" for my liking, whereas this one is mostly "sweet".
    Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to coat the chicken pieces as it seemed to take me ages. I think it took me about 10 - 15 minutes to move about 30 pieces through all 3 stages of coating.
    Once you've added rice this definitely serves 4 as promised, although it would also serve 3 large adult portions if you were particularly hungry.

    Omg I made this last Saturday, I made it for my dinner, I couldn't stop eating it soon as I tasted it. My husband has a terrible diet "eats hardly anything" he wouldn't try it, I raced through to my neighbour, he loved it. Your recipes are delicious and easy to follow. Thanks Nicky xx

    This is really a great recipe! I like how you did it all, simple, not too overcomplicated! Turned out great! For my taste, it was too much sugar, so I take half the sugar, since the pineaple ist also really sweet. I used frozen pineaple and that also worked great. I'm totally gonna check out your other recipes. Thank you for sharing this!

    Made this today was lovely although I'd actually recommend dropping out most of the ginger if you want it to taste like a takeaway version. shop bought sweet and sour sauces always taste of ginger where takeaways usually wont. Still loved it this tho !

    You are absolutely right! Most Chinese restaurants n Chinese food in the food courts used red coloring to brightened up the dish. Its not healthy its artificial colouring.Tomato ketchup n a tiny bit of dark soy wil also make the dish looks bright red.

    I made this and it was delicious although I found the flour part a bit fiddly. Next time I think I’ll try using just the seasoned flour and egg (is the cornflour stage really necessary?). It tasted very authentic though and went down very well 👍🍷.

    The sauce is good. However I found that more oil is required when cooking the chicken. Its too easy to burn the chicken/batter coating if only a small amount of oil is used. I tried the recipe again with more oil with a much better result. Use enough oil to fully emerge the chicken pieces.
