    Good to see you back, well worth the wait. I too hate the build up of batter on my fingers, so a tip to avoid it is to use disposable gloves. Easy to clean when buildup ocurrs during the process, and leaves hands clean when gloves disposed off. A further tip is to place dry battered items in a strainer/seive and shake gently to remove any loose batter or coating prior to frying, which will reduce the amount of debris in the oil thus keeping it cleaner for longer. 😀

    • @ZiangsFoodWorkshop
      @ZiangsFoodWorkshop  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      although shaking in a srainer will knock large chunks off as this is a dryish batter, if its wet it won't go crispy and if it does it won't stay crispy

  • @jamesdennett196
    @jamesdennett196 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    SO glad I found this channel. To learn how to make things that (may) taste as I want them to taste is fantastic. Been trying 'chinese' cookery for ages, but as you obviously understand, I'm aiming for a product I've had from the takeaway, and most recipes try and posh things up. Got some MSG a while back and that has made a difference, and learnt about the custard powder a while back, but not yet tried it and never seen it used, so had no idea about amounts and other ingredients. But these recipes are great. One issue I have is adapting for a gluten free diet, the biggest issue being the soy sauce. Lee Kum Kee do a gluten free light soy sauce, and Kikkoman do a gluten free tamari, but dark soy sauce remains elusive.
    Anyway, thank you and I look forward to exploring all your videos and look forward to more.

    • @ZiangsFoodWorkshop
      @ZiangsFoodWorkshop  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

Took all night with making the sweet and sour sauce, and then the beef prep and then the sauce. But holy shit, the end result was like that one mythical crispy beef I had once that blew my mind, and I've been chasing it since and been disappointed each time with each takeaway. I've always said I don't think I "cook" I just "heat" things, but after doing all the steps in this I was like "Did I just cook??" :D Thanks for teaching me some new skills.

    I soak any of mine in a wet mixture then do the flouring and let it sit, then wash hands and fry but I agree always add an egg to your wet mixture even if adding water oil and soy sauce it just seems to bind it all well together need to try with beef because last time it was awful because I didn’t know the soaking technique xx

    I use a similar method for pork tenderloin, relatively cheap in Canada around $1.75 in pounds stirling for 454 grams. My take away from this is:
    -I need to use a large pot for frying or the deep fryer. I use a deep frying pan with only about 2-3 cm of oil so my frying involves doing 4 to 6 batches for two tenderloins and I need to flip each piece.
    -I use corn starch, will try potato starch next time.
    -I've never soaked the sliced pork in water before coating I'll give that a try as well.
    -I've never done a second fry, nor mixed in custard powder with my cornstarch.
    Thanks for the video.
