I’ve given some thought and if it were discovered China intentionally allowed to the coronavirus to spread across the globe than a global war should be commenced, I would personally have no issues with flying an RAF VULCAN ARMED WITH nukes and dropping them on wuhan China like the way the Americans ONCE did AGAINST JAPAN.

Have you done the chicken prep video for this yet

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

no not yet, but will one, its hard as most people can;t get the 80% chicken breast most chinese places use

[@royalhighness2616]

@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop sorry to sound stupid but what do you mean by 80% chicken breast?

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

@@royalhighness2616 not stupid at all, takeaways use between 60%-80% chicken breast, thisnis where they get a chicken breast and use a machine to pump it with water, what this does is make the chicken go further but also makes it tender and why you can't replicate the texture with normal chicken breast

[@royalhighness2616]

@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop aww thank you so much for your reply. It definitely makes sense what your saying. As from experience I have realised when making chicken dishes downstairs have that true Chinese takeaway taste. I have tried velveting don't know if I spelt that correctly but still not same taste

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

@@willchu same here, if our channel ever takes off we want to do a mini series in the states of how different the food is, would be cool too see

[@robinbrettle2364]

Here is the recipe I use: Gravy ½ cup chicken stock 1 tbsp light soy sauce 1 tbsp Chinese rice wine Few drops sesame oil Black pepper 1 tsp cornflour dissolved in 4 tsp water To make the egg foo yung sauce, bring the chicken broth to a boil over medium heat. Stir in the soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, sesame oil and pepper if using. Turn up the heat slightly and add the dissolved cornstarch/water mixture, stirring quickly to thicken. Move the saucepan to another burner and keep warm on low heat while preparing the egg foo yung.

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

This sound goooooooood :)

Can you tell me which wok you used here please? I've seen a few listed underneath the video but I'm not sure which one is being used for this dish. Thanks in advance x

I've watched a lot of foo young videos from around the world and in many country's its seems they serve it with a (light) gravy. I've never seen that from UK takeaways, just more of a straight omelette - have to say pouring over Chinese curry sauce with it sat on rice makes a thing of beauty!

I love a Chinese Omelette. Prawn or Crab Omelette in particular, is a regular order for me. Even in shared banquet style meals I usually get to eat most of it by myself. Omelettes out here are inevitably served with a brown sauce. I have read that this is apparently in the American Chinese style. Do you do this in the UK? If so, would you have a preferred recipe for a brown Chinese omelette sauce?

No we don't have that here in the uk, we sell omelettes but there very much just omelettes :(

@BootneckAlphaKilo ..... you're 4 years too late! I've been using MSG regularly since around 2 days after I posted my initial comment! I put it in all sorts, not just Chinese. 👍

@@YelpBullhorn Good stuff 👍. It drys me out considerably, so I only use it when we have a 'Zaings' night at our house, but I have heard it's good in other stuff too.

Love the vids, thank you. Found the background music to be a bit too high at the beginning on this one. We want to hear your lovely mum too and she's much quieter than you are! :)

Another great video they are always a pleasure to watch always very informative I realise that you are probably inundated with menu requests perhaps in the future you could do one on dumplings and the various ways of cooking them keep up the good work

My dad's chippy favourite. I'm definitely gonna cook this one. Got my bag of MSG today, so I need to go look for my wok. Thanks for the video. Fingers crossed it comes out as good as yours. ,👍👍
