Chinese Chicken Curry

This is a version of Chinese takeaway chicken curry that’s used in many places now, it’s good but lacks the depth of flavour the old handmade curry pastes had, only a-few takeouts now will take the time, but that’s because it’s super hard work, massive vats of stiff curry paste that you have to use a huge wooden paddle to turn, the blisters I got from that was unreal.
If you want to pre order our 1st cookbook after it sold out 6 times now, it’s only sold on our webstore, our second cookbook is in stock www.Chinandchoo.com/shop

You and your Mother, are great cooks.

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Thank you 😊

[@nickearly7980]

Thanks for this recipe, I’ve used this paste several times but always felt something was missing. I’ll give this a try, I’ve used your chicken chow mein recipes lots of times,you’re right about the noodles brand , they really are far superior to supermarket ones . Love your videos especially the ones with your mum, there always cheery with great music, it always makes me smile watching your intros. Keep up the good work please .

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Thanks :) and yeah the ingredients really do make the difference when trying to make takeaway style cooking at home

I made this tonight. Admittedly I used chicken thigh as it's what I had but oh my goodness was it amazing!!! Thank you for all your recipes and tips, I live remotely, nearest takeaway is about 39 miles away 😂 These videos have been a godsend!!

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

We personally prefer chicken thigh but it’s just not what the takeaways use :) and 39 miles!!! That’s a trek!

Great video guys. I go between using Goldfish Brand and your own (better) old school curry paste. My question is, do you think this would work OK to do exactly as you've done but using Ziangs curry paste? Or would you drop the Cumin and Coriander?

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Yeah I’m not sure if you missed it or I cut it out for the short but I say if you’re using ours, don’t add the extra :)

"no need for salt or MSG" - proceeds to add salt and MSG

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Not understanding that the sauce on its own doesn’t need to be seasoned but then the extra vegetation and meat does just shows you are in no position to be commenting, that’s cater collage 101, season every element, unless it’s well seasoned already, then season the parts that need it, like every good chef knows this 😂😂😂

[@DubPanda-ox3pn]

'Extra vegetation'... You're too funny man. Not understanding irony shows your lack of awareness and dull nature

watch the other 5 times where I do genius, I'm showing all ways takeaways do things, most don't make it anymore, people like you are why the internet is shit, just have to have a say and don't have a clue

[@shaunhuse2007]

I'd hardly call using pre made curry paste cooking instructions worthy of a book haha It you're doing that, just read the back of the packet lol

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Cool story 😂

[@loucos3686]

If you want, you can get the original book and make the full curry paste that's in there but that will take many hours to do and is great if you want to have batches ready. If not, this is a quick way for everyone who doesn't have the full curry sauce paste home made to use. Remember, this is fast, takeaway style cooking. They don't make up curry paste individually for each chicken curry. Your comment made no sense.
