Char Sui is probably one of my favourite foods. I had never heard of Char Sui Balls with Sweat & Sour sauce before, so I shall definitely have a go at this. Thanks, Chin & Choo!

I made chicken balls last night from your book and I have to say they came out the best by a fair amount I’ve ever done. I’m guessing that flour really does make a difference 👍🏻👍🏻

[@eliotmansfield]

it sounds like bs, but it does really make a difference

[@straingedays]

You guys continue to amaze our taste-buds, this combo is outstanding (loved learning how the Char Siu ingredients made BBQ sauce too) I finally found Green Dragon flour here in Australia, it is magic stuff. It got the big Oh Yums & Thumbs Ups from my family 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Amazing!! Where was it you got it from? Would help us when people ask :)

[@andrewsmith4701]

It always drives me mad when people say that my take away doesn’t do it like that….how the hell do they know ,I don’t know anyone who’s been aloud to watch there local take away cook there food it would have to breach some sort of hygiene rule surly.and while I’m hear my local restaurant does a stuffed mushroom in a fruity sauce tastes like a sausage meat stuffing love to see you cook that.

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Yeah, like I've legit worked and owned more than people have had jobs, yet matey with no clue thinks they know better, its because they don't want to believe it or don't understand enough about cooking

Hi guys just placed and order for your book

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Awesome hope you like it!

[@Shadeem]

I had no idea this was an option!

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Depends where you are, there not called char Siu pork balls, there just called pork balls, and like I said there are 2 versions so if you somewhere new, you have no idea which link of pork they’re using

[@lordelpus2297]

Any chance of a quick guide on the different chopping techniques? Cheers

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

great video idea, and we plan to do prep videos :)

[@alexandermiddlehurst6312]

My word this looks amazing! Definitely doing this with the kids, they'll love it 😋 Ps. Can we fry these, freeze then fry again? Much love 😉⚡️💪

Yes :) just like chicken balls :)

[@naimac2744]

What is the white liquid you are adding to the sauce when you say to thicken it?

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Potato starch slurry

[@naimac2744]

@ZiangsFoodWorkshop thank you for the speedy response. Is it possible to use corn starch instead?

[@Szlater]

Lovely video as always, but 80C is 176F not 356F (which is 180C).

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Yeah lol I have the 2 figures in my head as 180c is always deep frying temp and just messed it up, if you watch the previous videos I get it right, didn’t notice until you just pointed it out

[@paullefur6213]

And just bought a load of stuff from your shop 🙂

Hello, I love❤ your videos, but can you please help me, I want to try to cook your pork pancake rolls, they make my mouth water looking at you cooking them, I've looked everywhere for msg, but can't find it anywhere where I live in essex, where can I get some. Thanks julie

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Hi we sell it on our webstore :) www.chinandchoo.com we also sell the brands takeaways use, makes all the difference, even the same brands in western stores are not the same in Chinese supermarkets, there often watered down or changed to suit the western palate

[@danielbush44]

Got your book, along with the curry compendium it's literally a Bible to me! However...do you guys have a recipe for chicken and lychee??

Guys. Please help. I need a good hoisin sauce recipe. I'm allergic to sesame so can't eat the one from my takeaway and everything I've ever bought in the jar without sesame doesn't taste great. Love the channel.

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

It’s hard as one of the main flavours is sesame

[@firsteerr]

what ever happened to them pork balls made from minced pork and spices ? all you get these days is lumps of chewy dry pork in a thick stodgy batter

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

That’s very reigional that, and yeah I haven’t seen it on menus for years

[@pipola2011]

With sweet n sour sauce is there an alternative to orange as i can't stomach orange at all makes me heave

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Don’t add it :) some places don’t :)

[@darrenburns16]

My mum calls in a Chinese . And she alway always say " sweet and sour pork balls, but no sweet and sour sauce, curry sauce instead" it's funny, cause it doesn't really make sense, but everyone knows what she means... 😂😂 I'm like wtf mum 😂😂😂😂

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

I do the same thing lol

[@darrenburns16]

@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop Madness mate 🤣🤣

[@EskimoTuffers]

not pealing the garlic and onion ?

[@AlexM-sg8fn]

As the sauce is strained through a fine sieve there’s no need to peel the onions or garlic, it’s just added work for no reason : )

[@th3batfink]

I’ve attempted these a few times now (balls in general) but I never get that soft white batter section on the inside of the crust up to the meat. Its driving me crazy.

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

You’re batter isn’t thick enough, what flavour are you using?

[@th3batfink]

@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop hey, chicken balls generally but I’m using the flour from the web store and following the book. I’ll go much thicker for the next batch.

As you know I have purchased some items from your store before because I cannot get such items off the shelve down here in Mid-Wales. Now here's the rub I had to buy the items I was going to purchase from your store today from Amazon they were slightly higher in price but cost less than I would due to your postage cost which was more than double what the goods were worth in my basket. And to boot I can get this stuff tomorrow as I'm a prime customer is this something you could look at because everyone is looking at prices at present. Best regards Henry the Highland Chef

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

No mate, we only charge what we get charged, and I only make about 12% on items as it is, to absorbed the cost would be closing down as we wouldn’t be able to cover it, but most people order in bulk, as the price is the same up to 30kg! Amazon puts small business in a position where we might have to stop

[@chippywarren9706]

Hi Mom! Mate I've been doing a bit of study. I still do not get your feed. So. I removed a few subs. These always pop up, they basically spam. Liked one I had unsubbed from. They all came back to feed. 2nd part. I found all these channels seem to be the same guy! Further study reveals that many channels do the same. So for me, example: I like one guys channel, then all his clone channels show up! 🙄 I've counted 4 channels that have clones that I view regularly. Nice recipe, found it by digging! Thank you very much. Later Mom! X

@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop I write music on a site that has 'that' special algorithm too. It does not make sense. AI? I do not know. All I know is what I tell you from my perspective.

[@mysticmama_3692]

While I 100% get what you say about "use common sense"....you'd be surprised at how many people DON'T have common sense, lol! Especially with food! In the future, you may want to explain food safe practices a little more In depth....because I assure you that there are more people than you think out here that wouldn't know if something had "turned" and would still eat it. Unfortunately, common sense seems to be something that is harder and harder to find in the west these days....and I personally blame the internet and technology for making things too convenient for people so they don't have to use their thinking caps anymore! Also, are you using potato or corn starch as the slurry to Thicken the sauce? Personally I think potato starch makes for a clearer sauce than corn starch...but was just curious as to which you used here.

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

We’ve been on the internet for 5 years and had 100,000s of comments, I can assure you I’m well aware of that, but common sense is a phrase that covers use, some times specifics can in fact work against you, and when specifics are required we always do, ie meat temp etc. potato, always.
