Your bossing this Alex, it just seems to be getting better, thanks for taking the time to share these videos 👍

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

My pleasure John..My head is full of food at the moment never knowing what to come up with next..Cheers John..

Brilliant Alex are you sure your grandmother wasn't Chinese, great quality food and brilliant video production, the recipes were always A1 and now you have took the presentation to another level. well done.

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

Thanks Tommy just trying to keep up with the times..The road is long as they say ..Cheers pal..

[@steveholden9139]

Yum! Thanks for sharing. My fried rice always turns out dry but adding a bit of water as you suggested sounds like the trick.

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

No probs Steve..This is something i also learnt by just watching the chefs..It does solve the problem if anything starts to stick..Cheers Steve..

[@markwhite6001]

Got to say again, the best videos on chinese restaurant recipes , I've been interested in chinese restaurant cooking since being a kid in the 70s, only Time we had a chinese take away, was on a special accasion, not like now when you can't be bothered to cook anything for tea, anyway these are the top recipes on the Internet, believe me I've been looking since the 1970s

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

Wow, thank you!Mark appreciate that..I was exactly like yourself .All my life since i had my first curry back in 1972,to be exact it was all i could think about,how to make them..It's took me a decade later to find out..I decided to take the plunge and went out and bought a burner,got myself a job in a Chinese and the rest is history..It was the only way i could find out and now i'm passing all this on to others..I wish i had met someone like myself many years previous and put me out my misery lol..Cheers Mark..

yummy thanks for sharing this delicious fried rice

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

Thank you my pleasure x

[@sean6948]

I'm giving this a go tonight, I'm subscribed to a few Chinese food channels and came across yours only recently, i got to say it looks bang on mate I want to try everything, doubt I'll be needing the others from now on, cheers

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

That's fantastic Sean thank,apreceite that..Cheers pal..

[@barryfalconer3061]

Hey Alex....gonna need to get some prawns to try this, it looks amazing. I like the new graphics you've used at the start.

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

Thanks Barry i've got loads of graphics but never get round to using them..I need to use them more often..Thousands of them just sitting there doing nothing..I pay for the app too on a monthly basis so i should be using it to it's full advantage, Cheers Barry..

[@clairewyndham1971]

This looks incredibly good! I want to make this!

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

Thanks Claire 👍

[@graemebrown1191]

This looks far better than my local takeaway Alex bravo sir👏👏👏

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

Awe thanks very much Graeme..Cheers pal,

[@hrundivbakshi3959]

Love how the king prawns ended up on top. As always Alex, immaculate presentation, Chef. I'd devour that dish with a few spoons of chilli oil.

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

The chilli oil on top sounds good to me Hrundi..Yeah it's a nice touch with prawns on top..Thanks

[@amandaleeborchert3745]

Mmmmmm Mmmmmm mmmm this is definitely going to be my top 5 favorite recipe list!! 🥡🥡🥡Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents!!🥠🥠🥠

Your a lovely and kind person Amanda thanks for that x

Another absolute beauty mate 👏🏻 i dont know how many times i need to say it but looks epic 🤤

Thanks a ton Gav,appreciate that..

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

Thanks Jordon i may possibly be the only one lol..It's took me a helluva long while to learn..I never realised that certain skills were required but finally i'm just about there..Cheers Jordon..

[@harryhill9524]

Hi Alex Love the videos, never eaten so much Chinese food lol I’m not complaining though. Just a question about what sort of rice do you use for fried rice recipes. Please keep em coming. Regards Harry

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

Thanks Harry i don't buy expensive stuff but takeaways will use Jasmine..There are hundreds of rice available..It's not like supermarkets when a few are only available.Asian supermarkets are different..I always made the rice when i worked in the Indians as a chef and used basmati so i generally use that..I'm not too clever when it comes to steamed rice and ends up a mess..When it comes to basmati i'm an expert.Cheers Harry.

[@grahamcharlton861]

Looks so good as usual Alex

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

Thanks again Graham..

[@alanimals]

So Alex all I need is a garden flame thrower and I'm sorted. Nice special fried rice recipe by the way.

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

🤣Thanks Alan..The burner is a gimmick and think that's what attracts a lot of people..I don't think my channel would be the same with me just cooking on a normal gas hob..The majority now get the idea and just adapt on a normal hob with some incredible results ..This is just my preference..

[@alanimals]

@@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex Ay Alex it does work well, thing is it looks a good cooking height it seems your more in control.

[@elainewhiteside7354]

Like I have said previously you should do a cook book!

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

Hopefully soon Elaine thanks x

[@richardbrown8099]

Great looking fried rice mate, I like a few peas in mine as well.👍

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

Aww thanks Richard,i think it's just a regional thing with peas in the same way with curries.In Glasgow they don't use them, well i've never seen them if they do.The sky's the limit when making fried rice dishes Richard,there are so many things you can add.Take care pal.

[@harryhill9524]

Hi Alex Watch your videos most days, I must say I have tried a lot of your recipes and have not been disappointed, when you stir fry I noticed nothing seems to stick to your wok, how do you clean it after cooking a recipe? Keep em coming, I’ll never be an expert but I’m getting better Cheers Alex Harry

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

Hi Harry how we doin pal..Food will always stick if the gas is too high and also not enough fluid in the wok in the form of water or oil..Normally the rule of thumb is to cook on a high heat but not always true..Obviously you don't want soggy food.My set up is different from your own i'm assuming but all the same rules apply if cooking on a normal hob..Always have a bowl of water to hand if things start to stick add a few splashes of water.You can also add oil but you could end up with dish being too oily so water is your best bet as this will evaporate oil wont..It's a common fault with most people.Again if starts to stick just turn the gas down and add your water it's that easy..The worst culprits are noodles and rice they always tend to stick but if you try some of the things i've mentioned they will never stick again..It;s trial and error Harry..Let me know how you get on..Cheers pal..

[@kevinh1178]

Can’t remember seeing you use 5 spice before Sensei Did the Korean BBQ & chilli honey last night with normal egg fried rice Awesome 👏

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

Thanks again Kevin appreciate that.. The origins for the five spice comes from my salt and chilli dishes. Comprising of pepper garlic and the five spice..It works great in this dish..We actually sell salt and chilli fried rice in the shop..This dish is basically similar in a sense..It's there in the background but makes a huge difference Chinese five spice plays a big part in Chinese cooking but it's knowing when to use it..It's overpowering so not much is needed.. Cheers Kevin..

[@lavvyheid]

Superb as usual mate. I love a chicken and ham fried rice. Do you know what type of ham the takeaways use at all Alex?

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

Thanks Scott..The ham they use is from Asian cash and carry's..It's not something you would find in Morrisons..It's comes in 5 kilo tins,there's just no way you buy something like that also it's too expensive..The only solution is just to buy a tin of normal cooked ham from the supermarket..I've seen it loads of times when i'm in at my local Asians but there's no way i would buy it.Chicken ham fried rice has to be my favourite..What i'll do is hopefully make it tomorrow to try and give you an idea using supermarket tinned ham..It might help a bit..Cheers Scott..

[@kenbarry7737]

Thanks Alex for another great dish. That would go nice with my beef and mushroom 😋😋

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

Beef and mushroom along with the rice would be some feast..Sounds good to me Ken..

[@barryfalconer3061]

One dish I don't think you've done is General Tso's chicken. It's very popular in USA and Canada.

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

That's the reason i haven't done one Barry..I've kinda stuck to the UK stuff..General TSO is not on any if the menus in the UK and as you said an American dish..I think Barry everyone is spoiled for choice as far as general Tso recipes go..So many to choose for online..I tend to stick to what i know and what i'm good at..I'm not sure why it's never travelled to these parts because it is a super tasty dish but UK takeaway's still don't sell it..There might be some but not many..Cheers Barry..

That would be perfect Neil thanks..

[@splishsplash2579]

Alex the cooked rice is it just boil rice or as it already seen some oil , Cheers mate keep up the good work.

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

Thanks mate. It’s just boiled rice. Just make sure the grains are nice and loose, preferably next rice that’s been kept overnight in the fridge. Cheers mate

Any chance of knocking up cheese and chicken spring rolls? What is the pastry called for spring rolls mate

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

I'll see what i can do Davy..Some takeaways that i know of sell them but not many..Shouldn't be too hard to make...This a link for my vegy ones and also a link to purchase the pastry..kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX3Wh3d7eZidp7s www.amazon.co.uk/Frozen-Spring-Pastry-250x250mm-Sheets/dp/B08Q49432P/ref=pd_lpo_325_img_0/257-2121278-6474901?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B08Q49432P&pd_rd_r=eaf3e004-ff5d-4c5a-9b78-b4014d302390&pd_rd_w=p72HD&pd_rd_wg=ELX2m&pf_rd_p=d8b3a5b8-7766-4dff-b57a-24ee5d46250d&pf_rd_r=AJ9VRHC98X51ER723P8B&psc=1&refRID=AJ9VRHC98X51ER723P8B

Nailed it again mate. I'd hate to think what your cholesterol level is though! Keep up the great wok

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

Thanks mate,believe it or not i don't eat any of it..I give it all away to family and friends etc..All my dishes are packed up and ready to go..Can't remember the last time i had a Chinese or even ordered one..I'm a fish supper man to be honest but for the better part of my life i was always intrigued on how it was all made..It's like working in a cake shop after a while you get fed up looking at them but you still have to sell them..That's basically all i'm doing..Cheers pal..

[@SH-vv7zq]

@@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex Totally understood. I expect the fish supper to be nothing less than Salmon teryaki with deep-fried shredded chill rice and black bean ginger, garlic and mushroom foo yung! LOL

[@darylspeirs4405]

You seem to use MSG a lot. It's frowned upon in some places. What's your thoughts?

[@markmcnally2044]

He thinks it's great or he wouldn't be using it. All Chinese takeaways use it.

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

You have no idea how many people have blocked on the subject Daryl..This topic never turns out good and is never under debate on my channel..I know your intentions are genuine but i know how this will end up..All it takes is someone else to reply to this and all hell breaks loose..Seen it many a time..This is a group rule form UK loves Chinese takeaway food detailed below..It's harsh but it's straight to the point... (If you have any questions about MSG, please head over to google, do some research, and form your own conclusions. Any topics discussing the pluses or minuses of MSG will be locked and deleted.).. All my comments now are held for review now Daryl because of this..If i thought it would kill me i wouldn't use it..MSG has been in my food from Chinese takeaway's from as far back as the early 70's..I'm now well into pension age and have lived to tell the tale..I just hope you understand Daryl..It's a dodgy dodgy subject..Cheers pal..
