Here in Canada we have Chicken Balls in our Chinese restaurants :) That said no US General Tso either, but we have ginger beef!

[@Buddhavibez]

So happy you shared this recipe. Can the liquid be frozen to make it last longer if I were to make a large amount

[@PaddyMacDaddy101]

Your "fish tasting fishy"...that's chicken you're cooking!😀

[@KENRHY]

could you define the amounts for the sweet and sour sauce please?? cheers

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

@@PaddyMacDaddy101 yeah I know, I corrected it but left it out of the edits so people would comment and boost the videos by engagement 😂

[@johnboughton7451]

Just dropped by to let you know that I followed your recipe to the letter and it was absolutely delicious I even watched how you carried the chicken from the batter to the frying oil & did what Mum said oil on first then prepared and fried I used boneless chicken thighs it was so nice my wife helped herself to a second portion thank you so much for taking the time to create such great content

Amazing 😊 so glad we could help!!

Pushing 50 year old, Candadian, female here. I have been eating CHICKEN BALLS my entire life. Chicken fingers are entirely different.

[@dellahicks7231]

Canadian 🇨🇦 pushing 60 here, and I remember being so excited when we would order Chinese food as a child, and chicken BALLS were always amongst the dishes. They still are when we order, one of our son's favorite dish. I agree, chicken fingers are very different.

[@doreenm4987]

Thanks for mentioning this! 🇨🇦

[@nataliewillsey860]

Another Canadian..58... Chicken Balls are chicken balls ..chicken tenders, fingers or chicken strips are normally done with a panko style batter...ps ..some places I've eaten had chicken insidea third of your cuts...but we never cared its all about the thick tempura and sweet and sour or as my kids called it red sauce

I'm from Ontario, Canada and I have never heard them called anything other than Chicken balls. To me chicken fingers are the breaded long pieces that are like Chicken McNuggets from McDonalds!! Every Chinese restaurant I've ever been in called them Chicken balls so don't know where these other people are from but not Ontario!!..LOL!! Not that it matters... they TASTE GREAT, and that's the important part!!

[@DMSProduktions]

Eh!

[@dellahicks7231]

From Saskatchewan here, at nearly 60, I have eaten almost my weight in chicken balls in Chinese take out since childhood. Chicken fingers are entirely different, though I love me some of those at times as well!!

[@DMSProduktions]

@@dellahicks7231 Take oot eh?

[@dellahicks7231]

@DMSProduktions Oh no, another reason online "Facts About Canada" videos should do more research. Where I live in Canada, we do not say "Oot," which is a regional accent in the eastern portion of the country. We live in a Western prairie province. Do we have our own accent? I don't hear it if we do. Do we have our own dialect? Yes, that I will agree with. Take the word "Bunnyhug," for example. That is absolutely one we developed in Sask. "Vico" is another provincial term. I believe one would find that amongst any country that has provinces, states, or regions. Just want people to understand the misconceptions about my beautiful country! 🇨🇦

[@Dave_Boyer]

Balls, here in Southern Ontario

[@nr289]

When my favourite local chinese takeaway closed down as the owners were retiring I was devastated. I'll have to give this a try at some point as I love Chicken and Pork balls. Looks so delicious!

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Same pork balls are actually my fav 😊

[@jwright3885]

I'm so hungry for SS Chicken balls right now. Thanks. I also appreciate that you explain the chicken balls can be slightly different in size, shape and texture with few changes to the recipe. Loved it and as always loved your Mum. What a little gem 🥰

[@Ultra54able]

I love mixing the sweet and sour sauce with my fried rice. I grew up on this at my favorite Peacock Gardens restaurant in Sault Ste. Marie

[@PAULINECheung-j7t]

My family ran Chinese takeaways and the way you made, these chicken balls with sweet and sour sauce is the correct way of making them. I am glad you showed us all, because I haven't made these for a very long time and jogged my memory of how to make them. I remembered how I used to make this after I watched your video. Thank you.

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

As a 5th generation Chinese chef with a restaurant thank you for confirming and I mean this with nothing but pure respect, please look into MSG again, and release the myths were a racist attempt at marginalising the Chinese population, it worked so well, it even has the Chinese believing it

[@jazzyjayplp5140]

these are a staple of my Chinese order been looking for the recipe for ages and literally came across this by chance. I LOVE YOU 💓

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

☺️☺️☺️☺️

[@jackflash5659]

I have travelled extensively throughout Canada and America for many many years and love North American style Chinese food. Chicken fingers are the same as chicken tenders which are strips of chicken that are breaded and then fried. These offering are usually served in non Chinese restaurants. Depending on the establishment various sauces are offered from honey mustard to ranch to bbq. Chicken balls are cubes of chicken usually chicken breast which are battered and then fried. They are always served with sweet and sour sauce.

[@shirleymorrison9047]

Where on Earth did you hear that about chicken balls in Canada? I'm seventy and there has always been Chick Balls in Canada. Your recipe looks really good and I plan to make it real soon.😊

[@straingedays]

Dragon flour isn't sold in Australia, it occasionally pops up on eBay but expensive and could of been sitting around for months. I now use SR flour seasoning, with Mary Mack's instant batter mix to coat (sold here in all supermarkets). Also good for fish & chips. I use frozen Basa, thaw, lightly salt & sit for 2hrs in fridge to draw out moisture for stay crunchy batter.

[@Gia_rae]

Addicted to these videos! Thank you I’m making this tonight with fried rice 😊 cooked it off yesterday especially

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Glad you like them!

[@janicepepper4382]

Okay these two are adorable cooking together. And nice clear instructions. I live in Canada so yeah we call them chicken balls. We don’t typically have squash here but looks like it is an orange drink concentrate that you mix with water. And we don’t have self rising flour but maybe you can find it in an Asian grocery store?

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

You should be able to find something like it other wise get 00 flour and add some baking soda and baking powder to it

[@2rrsadd777]

Hi I’ve just cooked this for my Dinner. I made the sweet and sour sauce then added it to a crunchy vegetable stir fry, then tossed in the chicken balls with some extra crunchy chips (French fries) and served it up with a extra drizzle of the sauce over the top. I had also pimped the sauce a bit by adding some fresh chillies to it. Absolutely yummy. I have some half cooked balls and sauce left over, which I will store in the freezer for another day. Thank you both for sharing your knowledge and recipes

[@insekta1701]

In the States, we call it sweet and sour chicken, and I looooooove it, and I’m going to follow your recipe. 😍😍

[@alanbowdler6574]

Bro I was a Chinese chef for a good few years and as a English man that was strange to the other chefs and other restaurants I use to want to do a cook off against Chinese chefs and knife skills all that. But how you did your chicken balls was exactly right and how we did them. Legend bro

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Thanks bro! Means alot, if you ever want to start a channel let me know I'll give you tips etc!

[@rampagedm]

Edmonton Alberta Canada here...they are known as Chicken balls. chicken fingers are what you get for the kids to eat with ketchup also known as chicken strips.

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

like I said to someone else 90% of the Canadians that have commented on older videos that they call them chicken fingers, remember Canadian is huge 😊

[@danwardlaw2160]

In Calgary (3hrs South of Edmonton also Retired Chef). Chicken Fingers are usually breaded, where Chen balls are battered. At least that's how it is in Western Canada (can't speak for Easten Canada as they're just wierd on their food tastes.

[@sdragon001]

Hi, just want to say great video love it and also made this recipe. But want to add I’m was Military brat that’s lived all over Canada from west coast to middle of Canada and also a railroader that’s never in the same place twice, I’ve also been far north in the territories eating a lot of Asian cuisine, never heard the term chicken fingers for this, it’s always been SS chicken balls or Chen balls. Chicken fingers is the tender part of the chicken off the Breast and coated in bread crumbs then fried and dipped in ketchup.

[@Ryan-hz3eq]

From Onterrible Canada here. They’re called chicken balls here too. Must be the Newfies or the Frenchies

[@steveleslie2170]

​@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop... Nope...chicken balls are chicken balls (battered with s/s sauce) and chicken fingers are chicken fingers (breaded with honey mustard, honey dill or many other dipping sauces). From a Canuck who's eaten at Chinese restaurants across most of Canada. In 57 years never heard these "balls" called strips or fingers. But keep the good cooking coming.

Thanks so much you both for your years of recipes and making us a little bit more knowledgeable about how to do things takeaway style. Book content is great & im going to get them for friends this Christmas. I haven’t got book 2 so look forward to that. Something I only discovered the other day on an Aussie channel (Andy cooks) was Chinese hot pot. Love the idea of lots of thin cuts of meat and noodles cooking quickly in a choice of broth. Is this something in your repertoire that you could show us? 🫶🏻

Love the way you have made the chicken & S & S balls but so many people are allergic to MSG can you omit it?

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Thanks 😊 but no one is allergic to MSG it’s nearly impossible, studies have shown out of 1000s of msg “allergic” people tested that it’s not the MSG more likely histamines causing there reactions or the reverse placebo effect called the nocebo. Because what most people don’t know because they’re not educated enough is that MSG is naturally occurring, if they were allergic they would make it to adulthood because guess what, it’s found in human breast milk as it’s important for brain growth, cognitive function and muscle development

[@punk_floyd_8123]

thats another of my favorites i have saved in my video's now. the last one was the chicken curry. an awesome tip with that ready made curry paste, the only thing i have found is, the main flavour is there, but the one from our local chinese place seems more spicy than the ready made one. so should i just add white pepper???

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

If it’s spicier normally means they added more chilli powder, but you can try white pepper, to me the heat is totally different from each one, but with out tasting it I can say which they use

[@Silkyste3]

Hi, just about to start prepping these balls, I have a question about the msg, I have some but it looks like small pellets, I ground it up in a morta & pestle last time I used it, do I need to this? I assume it should be grainy like table salt?

[@mysticmama_3692]

As an American....we just call this "sweet and sour chicken". We know when ordering it....that its fluffy but crispy fried chicken pieces with sweet and sour sauce on the side so you can add it at the last minute so that the chicken stays crisp. Ive never heard this dish called chicken "fingers" or "balls".

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

I’ve had 1000s of comments from people in the US over the years telling they call them chicken fingers over there, remember the states are massive not everywhere will call them the same thing

[@mysticmama_3692]

@ZiangsFoodWorkshop as an American who has lived in several states as well as traveled to most of them...I'm 100% aware of how big my country is. I'm also aware of regional differences being that i actually live here and have actually visited these different regions and lived in south dakota, texas, Alabama, south and north carolina, florida, oregon, wyoming, and Rhode Island...however, in the vast majority of states this dish is "sweet and sour chicken". Even at Asian chain restaurants in the US, it's just called "sweet and sour chicken"...no matter what state the chain is in. There has not been one single Asian restaurant in any state I've ever been to that calls this dish with the sauce "fingers". Even my husband, who is a chef is certain that this is just simply "sweet and sour chicken"....it's only chicken fingers when it isnt in Asian cuisine alongside sweet and sour sauce. Chicken "fingers" are just chicken tenders...which have a very different breading than sweet and sour chicken.
