Is that plural of Chin or is it supposed to say Chinese? 😂
Do you know what, I had to show someone that, I couldn’t see the difference
One of my all time favourite Chinese takeaway dishes! This looks amazing, great definition on the prawns and the sauce was a thing of beauty. And what an absolute cool boss of a mum!! Outstanding.
So glad we could help and mum is a legend
Your mum is adorable , bless her . This is my fave takeaway dish , gonna give it a go , cheers
Shes amazing :)
Love your honesty, your flavours know what makes the human appetite tick!! Fantastic team, love you guys.
I'm loving the health and beauty tips ... my skin has never looked or felt so good after exfoliating the Chin and Choo way ... 😃☺😄
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love your mum. She’s so lovely and always willing to go with the flow on everything x
Shes so awesome right :)

Can I use cooked prawns for this
I have tried so many times to cook prawn balls because I love them, thank you for showing how to make them correctly, the msg makes all the difference. Absolutely delicious.
Came across this channel! My boyfriend loves Chinese takeaway, so I appreciate you teaching how to cook all these wonderful recipes! It’s not my favourite kind of food, but I love cooking for him and seeing how happy he is to have his favourite foods! Thank you!
British Columbia, Canada 🇨🇦
Glad we could help :)
Glad to see you guys coming on 100K. Congrats, I have been watching since 2K, love the fun you have with yer mum. Keep it up guys.
Thanks 😊
I just got my order for special,ingredients from you, the flour for making the batter is fantastic - I’ve tried everything in the past, but you are right - the green Dragon flour makes crisp, non greasy chicken or prawn balls - I’m in heaven. Thankyou for your lovely videos..
Hope everything works out for you :)
That crunch sounds divine 👍
😊😊😊😊😊
Another great video. Thanks for taking the time to show us how its done :)
Thank you :)
Love you both! Those prawns look delicious. Thank you!
They were awesome, even though i hate prawns
Great tutorial, thank you both. 👏👏👏
Thank you :)
thank you guys I will try this I'm very happy if they anything like yours
Lovely
Love these videos guys. I’ll still continue to order from my local Chinese takeaway but I love to cook, so I have a great time following your recipes. Keep up the good work!
Good to hear! we still order out every now and then because not cooking is part of the fun
luv your mum. great vids and recipes,well done,i will be trying these for sure.
Mum is awesome
I just made these and the sause they are so good. Thanks
Mouth watering. Going to make these for my mum, it’s one of her favourites. Just picked up all my ingredients so this video just came in time so I can use your recipe book and also watch. Great job guys.
😊😊😊😊
How did it go?
Just tried this with chicken balls and the family couldn’t get enough
Another cracking success from your book
Thanks
Fantastic!
I’m so hungry now . They looked fabulous and crunchy sounds are great 😊
They are!
OMG! My mouth is watering right now, I love prawns, I so need to try this, when I can get the ingredients! 👌😊
We sell them on our website www.chinandchoo.com :)
Your mum is bloody hilarious I love her one liners 😂❤️
Lol I like the no airs and grace attitude, you just tell it how it is. It’s true to self and so relatable. Love your quirkiness it’s just like me. Thanks for the recipe. ☺️
😊 thank you
Simply beautiful!
I've made these a few times, they're lovely. 🤩
😊😊😊
Great video, love the "wood lice of the sea" reference, I love prawns.
😂😂😂 thank you :)
Brilliant love it
Thank you :)
I love your Mum
Shes awesome :)
I just made this and it was lovely
Awesome 😎
Love this channel and the pair of you after stumbling across it a few weeks ago.
Thank you 😊
Lovely guys my favourite dish
It’s a good one :)
Bro... I love your vids. The last time I cooked fried rice I followed your instructions, including the monosodium gluto... wow, really wow... and now, having just tried this recipe... full- on WOW !
Never thought I'd be able to reproduce anywhere near the unique flavour of Chinese cooking, but thanks to you I'm now able to rustle up a dinner which I'd describe as being fairly close to what I'd buy from my most favourite take-away.
PS. Please tell your mum I always have a chuckle and remember her when I cook my fried (maggots) rice. 😊
Cheers, fella.
Stay safe !
you too and no worries, really happy we could help!!
Why do I watch these videos late at night...I always end up hungry
Because theres nothing better than food ;)
I'm the same with the prawn texture 😔 I love the flavour aswell and cook prawns often for my partner and kids so I can make a lovely white wine garlic sauce to go with some sea bass. Love the videos you and your mum are awesome! Much love from Ireland 🇮🇪
Your mum is adorable!
Shes awesome right :)
We made the chicken balls to your exact recipe and they turned out fantastic! mum was right they were much better than a takeaway!! Thx guys give your lovely mum a kiss from us ok 👌 😁😁
Amazing 😊😊😊
I love you guys. I've ordered your book for my grandson for Christmas. he's autistic but a fab cook winning many cake competitions. he will love you guys just like me lol thank you. Big fan here x
Thanks 😊 and you do know it’s not due until after Christmas, it’s explained in the listing, I don’t want you to get worry, if you want to cancel the order email contact@chinandchoo.com
i love this channel
Great job watching from jamaica
Awesome :) bet the weather is epic over there!
You know what guys your channel makes me smile... I'm more of a person on the authentic end of the scale, you probably know that, but you two together are the best. I've been following another Chinese channel and they are a American couple based in China who've been there for years.. They do some really incredible dishes and some of the stuff they use is nowhere to be found. It would be super awesome if you could do something similar, just occasionally, but have in stock the stuff needed to make the dish. Just so you can have a look their channel is Chinese Cooking Demystified and it is pretty hardcore. More for the experienced cook like myself. Oh the Thai's double fry and crispy lasts almost for ever :-)
I bought this today for £6.20 so it's not cheap I just decided to try making it myself one day especially as the batter wasnt that great very oily not crispy at all like I normally buy. Very easy to follow video cheers:).
You’re welcome
Really beautiful as well as the chicken balls,!!! 💯 Yeah!!! Wish I had some of that green dragon flour.
We sell it on our webstore www.chinandchoo.com/shop
I know, can't find the price of it. Do y'all sell it at Asian markets in the U.S.
I made this last night and it was better than my local Chinese . Keep it up guys 👍
Awesome 😎 thank for letting us know how you got on :)
Good recipe, definitely subscribed
I used some tomato puree to redden the sauce once and it seemed fine, though just not quite as intense as the coloruring.
Another great video guys :)
Thats why the tom puree is in this :)
just ordered a chinese take away, we always get the prawn balls, my mum loves them, but i am now vegan, i usually take out the prawn and eat just the batter and sweet n sour sauce, but i'm hoping to make my own with either tofu or mushrooms in batter. thanks for posting this, it's given me great ideas and i'm so glad there's no egg in the batter!!!
Works really well woth both :)
Fab book and it signed just need u both to come up to cook them :)
😊😊😊🤤
too funny.. I really enjoyed this video.. gonna make it right away!!
Glad you enjoy our content
@David Pumpkini yep.. I made it.. put my own twist on it. 👌
@David Pumpkini funny!.. Im trying to find the meaning of the recipe as it applies to my situation
some of these ingredients are hard to find. but i been cooking pho so I had some ingredients already. but you know Im not just reading a recipe.. Im "cooking" freestyle. It should be fun
@David Pumpkini no sorry to disappoint you but I downgraded it just a tad bit to save time but it was still delicious 👌😎😎😎
I love you two so much! You are so funny together!
The way your mum goes off on a tangent all the time 😂💕 “at 6 I had a banana “
Love your videos!! I’ve made 3,4 of your recipes so far!
Keep being great!
Love you choooo 🤗😂
*Hi love all your meals they are amazing and Chin like you i dont like the texture of a prawn but love the flavour, so what i do when making battered prawns and i do this as my kids prefare it aswel is just chop and mince the prawns and then roll into balls before coating them, the result is they taste the same but the texture is so much lighter and not a horrid prawn🍤👍🏼*
😊😊😊
I've been waiting for this ... gonna get some prawns and do it! 😋 Also, some classic lines today ... #chewingonyourear #forkinthepan #exfoliate 😄😃☺😄
😊😊😊😊😊
Mums know best never question them as you just get ignored lol. I love the recipes and the great thing about them they adaptable you are allergic or dislike and ingredient swapping out - you want to go Foo foo style add additional ingredients. That's the thing I love about cooking how adaptable recipes are and how you can tailor them to your needs. Will Defo try out this Love prawns lol
😊😊😊😊
just tried green dragen flour great result
Its amazing, its way all good takeaways will use it we use it, we use it in ours :)
Put 3 tbl sp of flour in a bag and add the prawns and shake to coat them, it is quicker cleaner and saves flour. Good video Daz,
Grest advice
Prawn balls are elite!!! Can’t seem to get decent ones these days. I’ve tried making my own before which were fairly nice but these look 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 definitely gonna try this recipe!
Please do and let us know how you get on!
Just like to take the opportunity to say how fantastic your book is, especially as it has my name in the back and you signed it for me, thank you
Thank you, means so much :)
would love traditional yuk beng with chinese sausage your channel is very addictive!
Really love you 2, make brill chicken fried rice now, getting there with a couple of other recipes, kept me same through lock down and my mum passing, sit in bed on a saturday morning watching you 2 with the hubby🥰, I would like to know how to make spring rolls x
So glad we could help and we will be filming them at some point :)
I wish my mum was like yours.
Mum is one of a kind lol
Love them woodlice of the sea 🤣👍
😂😂😂😂
In UK I had fish and chips from the local Chinese restaurant the fish tasted awesome, not sure how they make it could be by adding MSG to batter or fish can you confirm.
You and your mum are great and I love the banter.
no you can't add msg to the batter as it will burn
Well done guys, another great.......
'Choo-torial' lol
😂😂😂😂😂
I’m exactly the same I hate the texture of prawns but like the taste of them. So I tend to prefer prawn toast lol.
I’m not a lover of sweet n sour sauce either but it all looked so nice that I’m still going to try this :)
Haha i know its so gross, but the flavour is awesome
This looks amazing! I can't wait to give this a bash 😍
sounds daft but do you have any advice on how to dispose of all the oil after it's been used?
Yes use it for cooking chow meins and fried rice, its what the takeways do with there oil chip oil
Flashback to the time I had a friend stay and destroyed my pans with her metal utensil madness. The memory still makes my blood boil 😂
Nothing worse 😂😂😂😂😂
Newbie to your channel, looking to make these tomorrow however due to a wheat allergy I'll have to try it with gluten free SR flour.
Green Dragon flour is the best
It really is
I'm with you Chin about the prawns especially when they turn up au natural with the heads and shells on!!!! However I do love the flavour. Definitely giving this one a go. Any misprints/omissions in the 1st revision book we should be aware of? 😉
😊😊😊 amd yes there will a free adments pdf soon
Loool awww you guys are cute
Thank you 😊
Have they ever done a Chinese omelette . Love omelettes from the Chinese takeaway .
No not yet but we will do :)
This channel is amazing ive follwed
the recipes they work fantastically with or without msg! Have you done an orange chicken recipe?
thank you and no, not done orange chicken yet
Bingeing a lot of your videos. Gonna order so much from my local this weekend that there gonna have to send 2 cars
😂😂😂😂😂 amazing
You should do a sweet and sour with Quorn nuggets. I do it at home and it reminds me of the sweet and sour chicken I used to get when I was young. A good alternative for vegetarians
Great idea!!
Love your channel and because of you I have started using msg again. Your mum is so funny and looks quite a character. Keep up the good work
made me hungry now ! hey chin, if you dont like them, i'll have your half of the next batch ! :)
😂😂😂😂
Could u make some more restaurant standard food vids , like ur recent fried rice recipe
"Health & Beauty by Chin and Choo" Another channel perhaps???? 😄😄😄
Maybe some makeup tips as well ☺😄☺😄😄😄😄😄☺
Hi quick question if you don’t have double concentrated squash can you just use twice as much then of normal orange squash.?
Yes but put less water (the amount of extra squash)
Hi I have a question, after you have made your batch of sweet and sour sauce, do you thicken it before you refrigerate it for future use or do you refrigerate it and only thicken it when you want to use a portion of the pre made batch??
No only thicken when needed
Haha your ma is adorable
She’s awesome :)
Scampi is langoustine tails, or Norwegian lobster.
dIdn't know about staranise ,but i did know that ginger dose a similar thing
Would you make the batter the same for chicken balls? I really enjoy your videos. I've tried a few recipes, pleased with the results. Warmest wishes
Already done a video on them :)
@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop I'll scroll through and have look. Many thanks
The batch of sauce is larger than my family would use in one go, does it store well? If yes how? I'm thinking freezing individual portions perhaps?
Oh, and just a quick thank you. I've watched a lot of your videos now and incorporated a few tips and tricks (including MSG) and my family have been going nuts for my cooking. I made some not-at-all-traditional fried rice the other day that was demolished in minutes thanks to using some of your techniques.
Yes will keep in the fridge for months in a sealed container:)
@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop fantastic, thank you!
You can use metal in Tefal titanium non stick, Had to get my wife one because she was one
of those fork people lol
even then the forks will still scratch, had good ones go due to people at work doing it
@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop Then you will have to fork out for a new pan!
"...like chewing' on your ear" 😄😄 Another lovely video. Running low on Green Dragon here in Michigan USA since we can't get home to visit our Dads due to the sodding virus. I can't find it anywhere in the US - any ideas on how we can get some?
No sorry, we normally ship internationally but have stopped for the moment until this crisis is over
Try Amazon
hi just bought your fantastic book, and made my first batch of sweet and sour sauce would it be at all possible to freeze the sauce , keep up the great video's
Thank you and yes, but it will last months in a air tight container in the fridge
Wow, these look so yummy....I am not sure what you mean by orange squash though? liquified? Looks very thin for squash (Looks like Orange Juice)...hmm...Also, Argentinian prawns are red or pink before being cooked when taken out of the shell but I never buy those but the kind you use because the ones caught from the Southwest Atlantic are usually trawled irresponsibly just so others know...They use nets where big animals such as sea turtles can't escape.
What is the website to get the ingrediants from ?
Www.chinandchoo.com
Can’t wait to try this. Just wondering, what do you do with the oil from deep frying? Like how often can it be reused? I tend to run it through a sieve when cold and use it a few more times. However when I made the salt and chilli chicken recipe the oil ended up with too much flour in it so I ended up discarding it.
In takeaway they use it to cook with
I run mine through a coffee filter. Gets more fine particulate than a sieve. Takes a while though.
Try putting a kitchen towel in the sieve and putting the oil through it will still a little hot, works for me,
Run it through a large metal funnel with kitchen towel inside as a liner, make sure the oil is warm or it will take forever but great filter for oil.
Can you please do a salt and pepper prawn recipe, I love your recipes you and your mom are awesome 🙂
Yes at some point we will and mum is the best :)
@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop that's great I look forward to it :)
Omg, Like chewing on your ear, funny shit, I think exactly the same thing. Also when you said Fork in that pan, it made me shiver, I hate that as well.
Hahah and I know right!! What kind of mental think that’s ok
@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop good video guys, can you catch coronavirus from chinease food and people? Is it best to avoid both
@@williamsmith8164Grow up and stop talking like a PRICK, WANKER.
@@williamsmith8164 you can catch it from anyone, the advice at the moment it to a avoid Italy, the cases of Covid-19 are falling now in china.
@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop Never mind that comment my friends, he sounds like a 25 watt bulb (they don't shine very bright)
When is your book back in stock??
In April but could be long due to world affairs. The second print is available to preorder from our webstore, link in description
is there a link to the sweet and sour sauce?
No but easily found in past videos :)
What oil do you use for frying
Veg oil
How do I order ingredients please.. loving you videos.. dying to see yous make crispy honey chilli beef 🙂
on our webstore www.chinandchoo.com hope this helps
Bought your book, love your vids. In this recipe should it not be 300g of sugar not 100g as stated for the sweet and sour sauce? Thinking 1/5 of 1.5kg as per book.
The book is different, we have a few variations of everything as takeaways differ. We show all
So you can pick
