I followed the instructions from your beef prep video and made my husband a beef curry for a change, and it was officially "the best beef he's ever had" So thank you! 👍💐
Hi love your shows I have mouth cancer and I'm being fed by tube. But when I'm well I'm going to eat all your food and can't wait. Hope you all are safe 👍
Can't thank you guys enough! Made this last night. It was spectacular!!!! My OH couldn't believe i actually made it. When normality resumes I'm definitely buying the book!!!
Tried this last night another absolute winner! It turned out great again! Massive thumbs up from the Wife she said it was authentic and once again better than the local takeaway. I went with your recommended amount of Black bean and it was perfect! Keep up the great work ...thank you.
The velveting chicken technique is critical as is getting correct black bean. This took me back to late 90s , to a slightly upmarket chinese restaurant that made beautiful chicken black bean & green pepper.
Just have to say , I recently made the 5 litres of your sweet and sour sauce recipe and it was the best I've ever tasted , and the crispy chilli beef was to die for , great job guys , keep up the good work :) .

Hi. Just found you guys! Love the vids, you both Rock! Made this tonight just as you showed. Totally awesome! We had a lockdown Chinese restaurant themed evening and it was fabulous! We played Chinese music, had candles and used chopsticks. Children loved it. Thank you so much for being so inspirational.
Hey guys, thanks so much for your recipe. Black bean is my all time fave sauce. I've tried this recipe (when you posted it with beef) and it works out perfectly. I always just sub in fried tofu instead of the meat. Spent so many years trying to figure out black bean and had some terrible mishaps with that jar of Lee Kum Kee black bean and garlic sauce.... it is not the same and is sooooo salty!
Great video and want to try it even thought I practically pissed myself laughing and brought tears to my eyes (I do have a cracked rib at the moment) when you explained the starch slurry as 1 heaped tsp potato starch and 1.2 heaped tsp of water :-)
@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop I still think we should go into a walk in freezer (although you would have take into account or expansion) or make it in zero gravity to have a true heaped tsp of water ;-) Sorry I'm not taking the pish it just tickled my funny bone and thanks volume.
Is there something I could use instead of MSG please? I know it is a great flavour enhancer but it is hard to get and I am trying to be more healthy if I can. This looks absolutely delicious by the way!! I could eat like that every day!! Oh how I love the Chinese way of cooking English food!! So yummy!!!
Hello, is there any chance you can do a video on how to make chicken Chinese style and chicken satay main dish. They're my husband's faves and would love to surprise him with them! Thanks for these videos, they're great 🤗
Just noticed the orange juice bottles by the microwave "sweet and sour" sauce still a best seller then? If so that's so good to know. Loving the book btw.
Can’t see Beef and black bean on your feed. Would I prepare the beef in any particular fashion? For example- like you do in the beef chow mein video? I’ve ordered the black beans from your website. Can’t wait to try it!!!
Hey there Chin and Choo, thank you for another delicious recipe. Do you have a preference for brand of rice wine, as I’m off to the Asian store tomorrow. Your Mum is still beautiful even if slightly older as she said in the video :)
@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop I watched both. One thing I noticed is that in the first video, you use 2 tablespoons of Soya Sauce but in this one you only use a few drops. Is there a reason for that? Also, do you know an alternative for rice wine? Thanks in advance, I love your Channel ❤
Made this and it was nice but tasted bitter, what do you think I did wrong? Used MSG and followed recipe, too much black bean maybe? Thanks for help, i want to try again and perfect it!
I have some left over roasted duck, so would I use the same quantities for the other ingredients? Your dish looks absolutely delicious as always btw... Love ya Chin and Choo!
Definitely will be doing this tomorrow as we have most of ingredients, we don’t have the rice wine or the black bean but we do have a jar of Lee kum Kee black bean garlic sauce, not sure if you have used this but how much would you suggest using, thanks in advance and stay safe
Chin one of my local takeaways does chicken and black bean but theirs is quite spicy compared to a normal version. How would I achieve that? I was thinking a few dried chilli flakes or would I need to add fresh chilli?
That carrot description could have taken a wrong turning very quickly 😂 (I know grow up, but in the current situation we can all try and get away with some childish humor to lighten the mood)... On a more serious note, I've seen so many varying recepies for this dish and all of them try to way over complicate it! This recepie looks perfect. So simple yet so delicious. Ill try this as soon as I next can!
Hello new subscriber and love chinese food (I seem to ruin it when I make it myself). On one of your videos you are going through a kit you sell. I cannot find it on your webshop. Do you plan to put anymore kits together ?
Ziang's Food Workshop woooooo perfect!! i will wait until the self raising flour is back in stock so i can order everything i want at the same time 😃🤤🤤
Hey i am searching a recipe for a dark, savory (not sweet), thick garlic sauce chinese takeaways offer. The Sauce is very garlicy. I really wonder how its made or whats it called. Do you have an idea? I am pretty sure it does not have black soy beans in it so it is not the sauce from the video.
Ziang's Food Workshop I think this is what our local do with either beef and mushroom or just mushrooms, dark thick sauce with lots of aged garlic, so much garlic it looks like the top of a snowball cake. Might be oyster sauce in it too. I’ll google and facebook if I find a pic 😺
I was watching this video and my 6yr old was watching Disney short film Bao and he said "Oh mum that guy cooking looks like the son off Bao, look"... Chin you need to watch Bao and see how cute he says you look! 😘
@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop lmao I hope not... 1dtsp = 10ml, 1 dtsp(h) = 15ml (ish depending on angle or repose). So a 1:1.2 ratio based on potato starch would be 15ml of potato starch to 18ml of water or a baw hair more than 3.5tsp. But then it was joke lol we all knew what you meant. I made a verson of that for dinner... it was excellent. Probably over did the black bean though!
I’m talking mass, so the equlivent mass or more accurately the space in which it occupies, so it for example the starch filled up 10cm cubed you’d use 10cm cubes of water
Help me Chin and Choo; you're my only hope! About your egg fried rice recipe, I note you recommend Green Dragon thai hom mali in the fried rice recipe video, but then in your overnight rice video you suggest a mix of long grain and thai. Which is it for fried rice? 100% Thai or the mix of long grain? Additionally, I'm having problems with my thai rice being very sticky in the rice cooker. Admittedly I'm using supermarket thai rice and this may be the problem, but I put in too little water and it is undercooked, too much and it is sticky and doesn't work in the pan. I've rinsed well and tried very accurate measuring but there seems to be no sweet spot - no problems with long grain but the texture is all wrong. Also, when putting the rice in the fridge overnight should this be covered or not to allow the moisture to evaporate? Love you guys x
@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop Thanks so much for replying. Do you recommend a brand of long grain to do the blend with? Also should the rice be covered at all in the fridge?
I just checked and on the date you ordered it there was already a note saying that the original mid/end of april relesse date has been pushed back to due to the world health crisis, hope this helps
Made this today, it was fucking awesome. Thank you. (I did make one mistake and added too much water, so had to reduce longer so veg lost crunch, but that was my fault obviously!!) Anyway, I watched the beef one too and you added the black beans at the start on that one, not sure why? Thanks anyway! Will be making this loads more!
we explained it a couple of videos a while back, we have 2 kitchens now, one electric and one for gas cooking, just to show that it can be done on both
denying us of the golden poaching pot how dare you!!! People will unsubscribe Hahahaha but I agree with you 3 times is more than enough and linking to past videos is way easier and will lead you onto a culinary adventure :)

Hi ziangs when you open jars of black bean and yellow bean how long can you keep them in fridge when opened?
1-2 months
I love black bean sauce, i prefer to buy it with beef but i cook it with chicken too. Loved the video! Going to look for the beef one now.
same beef is far better :)
Another awesome video, your mum is so funny.
Thank you 😊😊😊😊

Please do :)

Do you have a preference for brand of rice wine, as I’m off to the Asian store tomorrow. Your Mum is still beautiful even if slightly older as she said in the video :)
