Is that plural of Chin or is it supposed to say Chinese? 😂

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Do you know what, I had to show someone that, I couldn’t see the difference

[@Teessiderang]

Made this for my husband tonight and he gave it a 10 out of 10 and said it was better than takeaway. Thank you so much

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Glad we could help!

[@johnblonde8589]

One of my all time favourite Chinese takeaway dishes! This looks amazing, great definition on the prawns and the sauce was a thing of beauty. And what an absolute cool boss of a mum!! Outstanding.

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

So glad we could help and mum is a legend

[@paulb9453]

Love your honesty, your flavours know what makes the human appetite tick!! Fantastic team, love you guys.

[@christinehale7500]

I have tried so many times to cook prawn balls because I love them, thank you for showing how to make them correctly, the msg makes all the difference. Absolutely delicious.

[@neilrogers5912]

Your mum is adorable , bless her . This is my fave takeaway dish , gonna give it a go , cheers

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Shes amazing :)

[@lesleyobrien1492]

I just got my order for special,ingredients from you, the flour for making the batter is fantastic - I’ve tried everything in the past, but you are right - the green Dragon flour makes crisp, non greasy chicken or prawn balls - I’m in heaven. Thankyou for your lovely videos..

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Hope everything works out for you :)

[@johnstephens5031]

I'm loving the health and beauty tips ... my skin has never looked or felt so good after exfoliating the Chin and Choo way ... 😃☺😄

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

We sell them on our website www.chinandchoo.com :)

[@torijane4707]

Your mum is bloody hilarious I love her one liners 😂❤️

[@nickwilliams6750]

Just tried this with chicken balls and the family couldn’t get enough Another cracking success from your book Thanks

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Fantastic!

[@leeoconnor123]

just ordered a chinese take away, we always get the prawn balls, my mum loves them, but i am now vegan, i usually take out the prawn and eat just the batter and sweet n sour sauce, but i'm hoping to make my own with either tofu or mushrooms in batter. thanks for posting this, it's given me great ideas and i'm so glad there's no egg in the batter!!!

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Works really well woth both :)

[@chrissy212e]

I bought this today for £6.20 so it's not cheap I just decided to try making it myself one day especially as the batter wasnt that great very oily not crispy at all like I normally buy. Very easy to follow video cheers:).

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

You’re welcome

[@MrMzkking]

Glad to see you guys coming on 100K. Congrats, I have been watching since 2K, love the fun you have with yer mum. Keep it up guys.

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Thanks 😊

[@karencharman3565]

Love watching you both .Thanks for making it fun.

[@handyjayes1]

That crunch sounds divine 👍

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

[@cuhurun]

Bro... I love your vids. The last time I cooked fried rice I followed your instructions, including the monosodium gluto... wow, really wow... and now, having just tried this recipe... full- on WOW ! Never thought I'd be able to reproduce anywhere near the unique flavour of Chinese cooking, but thanks to you I'm now able to rustle up a dinner which I'd describe as being fairly close to what I'd buy from my most favourite take-away. PS. Please tell your mum I always have a chuckle and remember her when I cook my fried (maggots) rice. 😊 Cheers, fella. Stay safe !

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

you too and no worries, really happy we could help!!

[@shaunrich4938]

This is another excellent video. You guys are fantastic. Keep up doing your videos exactly how you're doing them. I love watching you. ❤😂😅

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

I know, can't find the price of it. Do y'all sell it at Asian markets in the U.S.

[@JBANTZ]

Can I use cooked prawns for this

[@kazbleasdale1310]

Mouth watering. Going to make these for my mum, it’s one of her favourites. Just picked up all my ingredients so this video just came in time so I can use your recipe book and also watch. Great job guys.

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

😊😊😊😊

[@daverussell6399]

How did it go?

[@mansdaz]

Put 3 tbl sp of flour in a bag and add the prawns and shake to coat them, it is quicker cleaner and saves flour. Good video Daz,

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Grest advice

[@davidwiddick]

I bought the Green Dragon flour but couldn’t get the self-raising just the plain, I added my own baking powder after looking up a suitable ratio. I followed the instructions from this video and another of yours to make king prawns in batter. I rather sceptically included MSG on the prawns and in the batter. Best prawns ever. So crunchy and so tasty. I’m now looking at what else to try the MSG on… maybe my cornflakes 😂 I’m going to try the flour in a Yorkshire pudding.

[@garth56]

You know what guys your channel makes me smile... I'm more of a person on the authentic end of the scale, you probably know that, but you two together are the best. I've been following another Chinese channel and they are a American couple based in China who've been there for years.. They do some really incredible dishes and some of the stuff they use is nowhere to be found. It would be super awesome if you could do something similar, just occasionally, but have in stock the stuff needed to make the dish. Just so you can have a look their channel is Chinese Cooking Demystified and it is pretty hardcore. More for the experienced cook like myself. Oh the Thai's double fry and crispy lasts almost for ever :-)

[@claremurray1112]

I just made these and the sause they are so good. Thanks

[@greg9871]

We made the chicken balls to your exact recipe and they turned out fantastic! mum was right they were much better than a takeaway!! Thx guys give your lovely mum a kiss from us ok 👌 😁😁

I'm the same with the prawn texture 😔 I love the flavour aswell and cook prawns often for my partner and kids so I can make a lovely white wine garlic sauce to go with some sea bass. Love the videos you and your mum are awesome! Much love from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@liverbird_55]

*Hi love all your meals they are amazing and Chin like you i dont like the texture of a prawn but love the flavour, so what i do when making battered prawns and i do this as my kids prefare it aswel is just chop and mince the prawns and then roll into balls before coating them, the result is they taste the same but the texture is so much lighter and not a horrid prawn🍤👍🏼*

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

😊😊😊

[@Bigbigjimbo]

In UK I had fish and chips from the local Chinese restaurant the fish tasted awesome, not sure how they make it could be by adding MSG to batter or fish can you confirm. You and your mum are great and I love the banter.

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

no you can't add msg to the batter as it will burn

[@urmintrude]

Hi I have a question, after you have made your batch of sweet and sour sauce, do you thicken it before you refrigerate it for future use or do you refrigerate it and only thicken it when you want to use a portion of the pre made batch??

No only thicken when needed

[@greggall205]

"Wood lice of the sea" - hilarious :-D Worst texture I ever had was Takoyaki. For those that don't know, these are Japanese crispy octopus balls. Nice and crispy on the outside, the octopus is meaty as you would expect but then you get to the centre which is deliberately undercooked and the most slimy thing ever. think - hagfish mucus!.

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

never had them and by the sounds of it never will lol
