CHINESE RECIPES. Read first post for recipes before posting!

I love the sweet and sour sauce from my local takeaway. Might not be authentic but it's very nice. Any idea how to make it? I tried a recipe online once and it was a disaster, I had to throw it out.

Also one of my favourite dishes is Char Sui Pineapple. Not sure if you know it, but it's slices of roast pork in this thick sauce with big chunks of onion and pineapple in it.

Also, I think I've seen you mention potato flour and corn flour. Where does one get those?

Wow this is an amazing thread!! Thanks so much Jassha! Am going to start with the chicken and sweetcorn soup - as its my favourite chinese dish and it looks quite simple to make! Do you have a recipe for orange sauce? Tis my partners favourite so maybe I'll treat him to it!

Corn flour is widely available at all supermarkets. Usually located in the sauces soups and condiments aisle or else with the baking products...

Hi Jassha,
Don't think a recipe for saute mushrooms was asked for yet (apologies if it was).

It's more the sauce recipe I am after as I don't think there's a lot to cooking the mushrooms!

Cheers

Hi Jassha,

Would you have the recipe for any of the following please?

spring rolls, egg fried rice, chicken meat soong and skewered chicken satay?

I have looked through the thread but not found any recipes for them.

Many thanks.

Page 5 has a recipe for satay so you will need to read that page and onwards to find the rest of the stuff

There is a starter in my local which I love, they call it dry and spicy spare ribs. To me it is cooked very similar to salt and pepper chicken but i could be wrong. Would you have a recipe for these?

Hi Jassha,

Got any good recipes for chinese 5 spice chicken, i got 5 spice chicken udon noodles from my chinese and it was awesome. What exactly are udon noodles do you know and how would i go about recreating this?

Also would love to know how to go about cooking duck in honey garlic chilli sauce, but maybe thats a bit too complicated?

Awesome thread btw:D

Also, how do I make the 'yellow' egg fried rice-what gives it the yellow colour?

That would be dark soy sauce but it's better without it. Fried rice found in proper restaurants (not takeaways) aren't yellow.

would it not be turmeric? In my experience dark soy sauce just turns stuff brown & turmeric is used to give food a yellow colour

Well, there's no reason why turmeric can't be used to make fried rice yellow but turmeric is not a typical spice/ingredients in a chinese kitchen. In my experience, having worked in various chinese takeaways, they generally use soy sauce to flavour and colour the fried rice but they're not bright yellow. If your local chinese serves up bright yellow fried rice then it might be turmeric...i don't know.

actually, you're totally right. I think I'm getting my fried rice with eggy yellowness & bright yellow Spanish/Mexican style rice confused!

Take aways would not be adverse to using good old food colouring, either.

The above is a link to the salt and chilli chicken i posted a while ago. Enjoy

Just tried this, it was savage!

Made a slight change though, for the batter for the chicken i dipped them in seasoned flour - egg - seasoned flour. (had no potato flour).

for the stir fry all i used was Onion, green + red pepper and the hottest chilli i could find, had no white wine, threw a very small dash of water into the pan and fried it off.

The spice mix is amazing! The chicken tasted the exact same as take-out.

Thanks OP!!

Have you the recipe for Green Curry?

I've searched the thread, cant seem to find one already posted.

Just made this. used half the ingredients above and still have loads . I got enough for 10 dinners easily.

Have it divided up now in tupperware and I'm gonna freeze it. when i need it in future all I need do is defrost and thicken with the corn flour

This is the closest sweet n sour sauce to my local chinese I've ever tasted

Thanks again

I'm looking for a recipe for szechuan cumin lamb ribs - I had them once in a restaurant in Melbourne and I'm desperate to recreate them.

They look like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/avlxyz/4304026153/

They're deep fried, in some combination of szechuan pepper, cumin powder and chilli pepper, and then there's fried onions and red and green peppers as well. I just can't get the batter right...any ideas?

here is an online shop BTW

free delivery if you spend a lot.

Does anyone know of an online store that will sell Chinese ingredients rather then Indian? Or know of a good store in Limerick that will sell the ingrediants?

I want to make salt and chilli shredded chicken, chicken curry and sweet and sour chicken.

Also, does anyone have a recipe for general tso's chicken? It's possibly called something else in other areas. I have seen it as General Tsung's also.

Looks great, really want to make this myself. I have most of the ingredients but I just cannot find Hot Bean Sauce anywhere. Would you know anywhere that stocks it. Thanks
