The Best Tasting Home Cooked Chicken Curry Chinese Style

[@ppauline1515]

I watched an Indian lady cook rice on TV and she put rice in a large saucepan (without washing it first), she put twice the amount of boiling water in the pan,. Brought it to a rapid boil, gave it a stir, put a lid on it. Turned the heat off and left it on the 'naughty step' for 15 mins. Perfect! Works every single time.

[@deeferry6520]

For years I washed my rice until the water came clear, then out of the blue I put it straight in the water, perfect rice every time, its only taken me 10 years lol.

[@jeanbrookes6300]

Looks lovely 🤤

[@MeekEarth700]

Yes it does and so simple.

[@desilvabebe1391]

Awesome I will try that tonight from London

[@mrsgab56gillianbates45]

I'm 67 and this Curry as been around since I can remember they have always served it in the fish shops I have always used it lovely

[@rabsrealm]

My missus sent me to an Indian cook school for my Birthday. They taught us to make rice perfectly. I wash the rice beforehand until the water runs clear. Put it in a pot and just cover with water. Stick the lid on and bring it to the boil. As soon as it boils, turn the heat down to it's lowest setting and leave it to steam until the water is gone. Perfect rice every time :) After watching this, I think I'll make my own Chinese curry from now on :)

[@juliejr]

Think I'll give that a go ☺ thanks for sharing 👍

[@davidjones6470]

Great idea with the 🍚 I be trying that way next time great tip 🤘

[@ianmunday6655]

I bought this powder from Iceland today and followed this recipe. So so easy and tastes EXACTLY like a genuine takeaway ….now can you pls try and provide additional recipes for Chinese sides (eg prawn toast ?!) . Would be great to have a few courses for friends to come around and enjoy . Keep up the great videos…very entertaining and all very simple

[@denisereynolds2399]

I always buy this curry, it’s delicious and low in calories. I didn’t think the rice would work, but it looked perfect. I wash the rice before. Two cups of water to one cup of rice . Boil the water first, pop the rice in, stir once , bring it to the boil and lid on, turn the heat down as low as so just a flicker and don’t move the lid for 20 minutes. That how I’ve done it for years . Just shows there’s so many ways of cooking perfect rice. 😁👌 🍚 Your dinner looked absolutely lovely 😋❤

[@paulhayden8467]

do your rice in the microwave. its 2 parts water to 1 part rice. wash it, put it in a bowl , a teaspoon of veg oil and a pinch of salt. 15 minutes on high power and a quick stir every 5 minutes. take it out and leave it covered for another 5 minutes and you will have perfect rice. keep up the good work.

[@rdfb2]

[@gerryhope3931]

I agree with Robert on how to cook rice. My method which is quite similar is this, for a cup of Basmati rice, I first rinse it under warm water rubbing the grains between my fingers as though I'm rubbing shortening into flour to make pastry. Once the water runs clear, if I have time, I allow the rice to soak for about thirty minutes, then, as Robert suggests, I bring two cups of water to the boil and then turn the heat down to the lowest setting. The only other thing I would do, which is a personal preference, I would leave the curry until it is almost cooked before adding the onion as I prefer it to be still crisp when it is served. Must look to see if I can find that Chinese curry mix in Canada.

We're also fans of the Mayflower Curry powder. My wife says she takes the curry mix off the heat once it has thickened up for about 15 minutes. This stops the slightly bitter flowery taste. Then she go back to it and adds some water. Then adds the ingredients.

Here's a good rice recipe, all in the microwave. You can't go wrong, it's foolproof. 1 pint of boiling water - boil the kettle. 3/4 pint of Basmati Rice - measure it in a jug like you would liquid. 1.25 level teaspoons of salt 1 level teaspoon of Turmeric 4 Cloves 3 Bay Leaves A 2 inch stick of Cinnamon Measure your rice and then soak it in cold water for about 30 minutes. Drain it well in a sieve. Add it to a pot suitable for the microwave, that has a close fitting lid. Add the salt and spices to the pot of rice. Boil the kettle, measure out the pint of boiling water, pour into the pot, give it a quick stir with a fork. Fit the lid and cook it in the microwave on full power for 10 minutes. Remove from the microwave and remove the lid. Pull out the whole spices (cinnamon, cloves and bay leaf) which tend to rise to the top or near the top. You can ferret them out with a fork. Add a few small knobs of butter and stir in with the fork, breaking up the rice as you go and incorporating the melting butter throughout. Let it sit for 2 or 3 minutes and it's ready to serve. This makes a fair amount, easily three portions, probably four. You can of course halve the above recipe to make enough for two portions.
