Sichuan Chicken Video & Written Recipe
Sichuan or Szechuan (however you spell it) is such a full flavoured and underrated Chinese takeaway dish, its packed full of flavour and spice, while blanacning rich deep notes with silky earthy tones. If you like spicy Chinese takeout, then this one to try.

Ingredients: 300g poached ch

Chicken With Ginger & Spring Onion Video & Written Recipe
This is another dish that has flown under the radar, one that I actually make very often, sometimes I'll often add extra sugar because this is one of those dishes that works very well when overly sweetened, I think its the ginger that makes the sweetness so morish in this. Right at the end some places will add a small splash (1 tsp) of Chinese rice wine, most places wont do this, but you can if you like. Ingredients: 1 sliced chicken breast 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp MSG 1/6 tsp Bi

Chicken Curry & Fried Rice Pancake Rolls Video and Recipe
This is one of those things I cook when I've got people coming round as they're a crowd pleaser, I never order them though, I'd rather small mini rolls that I dip in as much soy sauce as the roll will take, because I love the salt! But everytime I eat these I forget how much I actually love them. This version is different from the version in the second cookbook. Ingredients The chicken curry 4 tbsp Chinese curry paste (Gold fish is a great brand for this) 2 chopped chicken br

Beef & Onion Video & Written Recipe
This is one of the most underrated dishes on a Chinese takeaway menu, not many people order it but those who do, absolutely love everything about it, and we agree that this is top tier and one of the dishes on a Chinese takeout menu that’s pretty much a traditional style dish. It's some that we cook often at special occasions, like holidays and special celebrations, and it's always one of the first dishes to be emptied by everyone. It's super easy to make and a splash of fish

Char Siu (Chinese Roast Pork) Video & Written Recipe
This version is kind of cross between Chinese takeaway and Chinese resturant Char Siu (Chinese roast pork), I as cook it as a takeaway would prep it, but then finsih is like a resturant. Personally when I make it at home, I normally don't roast and glaze, I like the takeaway version better, but thats becasue thats what I grew up with on a daily basis, don't get me wrong, the resturant version is amazing, but I chave to be in the mood for that flavour to pick it over the takea

Chicken Chop Suey Video & Written Recipe
It came to our attention the other day that me and Mum have never done a joint chicken chop suey recipe video, I've done them as shorts on my own, but never a together, so we thought we'd right these wrongs. This recipe is isn't like the one in our cookbooks, but a mix between home cooking and takeaway style cooking, which often gives the best results, as its still fast, but often has a depth of flavour thats lacking in just a standard Chinese takeaway version. Ingredients: T

Salt and Pepper Chicken YT Short With Recipe
Salt and pepper chicken is one of those go to dishes for me, normally I prefer it with chicken wings but any variation works. This version is an old school version because it uses the custard powder, where as many don’t now, but the seasoning is more of a new era style seasoning, this is a mix of the two. The version is the cookbook is a really old school versions which I love! Ingredients: The seasoning 2 tsp salt 2 tsp MSG 1 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp white pepper 1 tsp sand
