So much nicer when adding some pineapple juice to the sauce. 👍

[@kevinmullins7852]

I tried this recipe last night and I must say, it’s better than any take out I’ve eaten. Very simple instructions. This will be regularly on our menu. The entire family loved it! New subscriber 👍

[@veronicaBolanos-mc4fc]

Cant wait to make this. Love your simplicity and sense of humor ❤

[@lukezerefos8086]

Great channel. I love how you get right to the recipe. I think your channel and souped up recipes are my two favorite Chinese food channels. And since I am an American living in a country with very limited Chinese food options, your channel has been super helpful and valuable.

[@WallyCooksEverything]

😀 What's up Luke!? Lots of great Chinese food channels here. I'm honored that you feel I'm one of your favorites 👍 Yeah I know what you mean. I'm living in Thailand, though are many similar Chinese foods here, but none of the Chinese American food I grew up with back in the states. So, I learned to make them myself 😀 My older videos are longer. Gradually I've learned since then to keep it shorter when possible. Thank you for watching Luke, have a great weekend!

[@BigBlackBe4r]

Mee too ! Souped up recipes is great !

[@fraa888grindr6]

This is a great recipe! Just prepared it for the second time, for a party of four (doubled recipe). The first time I prepared it for three people, but I didn't have white vinegar, so used lemon juice and it came out delicious. This time didn't have white cooking wine (different kitchen), so used cranberry flavored blush; again, it was absolutely wonderful. Thanks; this is now a go-to recipe.

[@WallyCooksEverything]

Thank you for trying out this recipe. And nicely done with the substitutes. I know a friend that uses pineapple juice instead of vinegar and he loves it 👍

It’s a nice, well presented, and easy to follow vdo demonstration. Even I already know how to make this preparation, I watched your technique, and enjoyed it. I did also notice the use of Thai brands of condiments, so I suppose you’re at Thailand. I was waiting to see the cucumbers being added :) I’d never seen that version until I moved to Thailand, but I really like it. Good luck with your channel!

Cut the -shire from the sauce. It was made in Worcester, and that's what us Brits call it. We can barely read, anyway.

I wonder how many Chinese use Worcestershire sauce 😂😂😂 Or ketchup 😅

@@WallyCooksEverything Good, I hearby crown 👑 you the, "Barefoot Chef". Now it is official! 😆

[@bomboomsreality3113]

Hey Wally where have you been all my life!!

[@sylartrader]

So the recipe for Sweet and Sour chicken is pretty much the same as "Geng dou pai kwat" (using pork ribs instead) and I guess General Tso chicken is also a variation of this recipe cause they'd all taste pretty similar.

[@WallyCooksEverything]

Hi Sylar, how’s it going? Yes, there really is no mystery to Chinese sauces. If it’s red color it’s most likely from tomato ketchup or tomato paste. Sour comes from vinegar. If sauce is brown then oyster and or light soy sauce. Plus corn or potato starch as sauce thickener. With just those ingredients you can make a lot of popular Chinese fast food. However, can not discount cooking technique and wok hei. Both of those make a big difference between home cooking and commercial restaurant Chinese cooking.

Looks great, was that rice it was served with. I dont see it mentioned

Hey Ronald how's it going? Yup it's white rice. You can use any rice really. Sometimes I go nuts and just put it in between some nice crusty bread 😀 Unorthodox but delicious!
