Usually just so uh no no no no no no we start that already we said but already I know show business as you can of it anyway we have the perfect balance to the sit and sour chicken a favorite of mine and you know when it comes to like your

Recipes it is what I live so I take a lot of pride into this dish yeah so let’s get started with this piece before you start be sure to subscribe guys click down below don’t do anything else good good you click all right let’s go

Good I was freezing a solid okay so we have some chicken thighs okay no I’m I in deboned chicken eyes why not pray you can yes it’s not a problem and he was in breast the thing about the thighs you get that nice at the marbling of fat

Inside there oh it’s much tender okay and it has better moisture retention afraid so juicy I go one likes dry breasts I like moist stuff alright so ties ladies and gents we going with that okay okay so we have it q pieces you could with a bigger obviously good bigger they

Were fresh that’s cute pieces so let’s go black pepper and salt it’s a very simple inside they’re great know we always start with doors fundamentals right yes minced garlic in there and those flavors of the Orient you need to have garlic mustard garlic mustard maybe a little ginger depending

On your recipe many plants any sauce using ginger later okay but another flavor sesame oil right instant smell of Chinese restaurant it gets me going on inside Marin so ladies and gents this is very simple in terms of seasoning right I mean there’s no green seasoning or

Sign or shot of any no poutine hermano sort of drama this is an Asian recipe as you will be familiar with and Chinese tea and we do nothing yet right Lexie’s no you can let this go for about 10-15 minutes okay not that low meantime

We need to make a batter to fry this because we’re we going to take these little nuggets but I mean our batter and fry them I’m sitting at a crispy shards on the other side got it let’s talk about what’s going on here corn starch mm-hmm so over here we have

Flour okay we’re going to be mixing both of them we need B to because corn sauce gives you a nice crisp exterior mm-hmm sometimes people use pure corn starch a little in the fryer yeah it’s very fancy so we’re blending but I’m blending it together so I just gotta get a batter

Consistency B flour and interesting this characteristic from different from the course – for christina’s okay mix it up together for me please in the meantime sure nothin both of them they’re together it’s homogeneous homogeneous all right we have one egg whisk it up put it inside there also it’s a wet bath

Ladies and gents pretty much straightforward put that inside there mm-hmm and you’re gonna start add a little bit of water at a time you’ve been looking for a pancake consistency battle wing okay right so a little bit goes up at the time why do you do that also I’m

Just gonna add a little bit of oil the oil that’s ordinary vegetable oil conditions the butter to get a nice gloss on the exterior at the same time also it helps the batter crisp up as a price okay right so continue mixing bringing it in together after you like I

Need a little more I was gonna ask for help that’s why I’m here cozy you’re too sweet and you can use a whisk to do this of course and bring it in together so we could keep it simple with a fork a little more please sir I’m not a beauty

About cooking obviously if it needs a little more you can add it the recipe for this obviously as you know it’s listed right below in the description box so as you watch take us in but you can then check new recipe an assistant at a later time so pay attention to

What’s going on right now we come all those that are shot in another more a little thing again I feel it’s kind of as you whisk it up and you bring it down what we’re going to be doing is taking these pieces of chicken we’re gonna put them into the bottle

Move them around a little bit and we’re going to start afraid I have oil on the stove at about 340 degrees Fahrenheit and we want to start to fry so let’s get that video room other than getting order here so good already and what I need to

Do is just take a few pieces of these meat right just like that or you can rather we’re gonna put them inside of the box on this move it all night outs just coats it up just quote it lightly okay and as I do that see train and

Dreams out I’m gonna put it into my hot oil that’s not the phrase up next piece well let me help y’all yeah I will command the pots well it’ll be better if you if I met her and you thought just because he because he doesn’t get my jokes I know you guys get

My jokes because get his jokes when I do it’s encourage him oh my lord so we go in inside their partners trying to stick together here well you know that dream so as you can see it’s very hard to pretty much butter you look like a hot pan go Japan go Dipper

Danu song you know bringing that circus out soon max mm-hmm okay well we looking dear so you’re getting those little shards yeah lift it up let me see on sexy it look you know you can tell that’s gonna get wrong a nice of course all right as it cooks you’re gonna get

Crispier mm-hmm all right so let me continue batter in here so are you gonna do this one by one you can do it like that just throw a whole thing in there yeah I guess we could tell you that I mean quick you see would see because we have

Guin along yet to see one wait on it so you’re trying to say mix it up like that mix it up it’s Michaan’s you’re welcome Cassie and any day let us say any woman they really does vary across I mean I am assisting you well then how about the

Front we are thinking and I’m not seeing very good that’s kind of a genius that’s easy pickins yeah yeah I love it yes come on salute so when I could no you don’t want to put too much pieces inside of the oil okay overwhelm the oil it will take down

The temperature of the oil right instead of frying a wooden of steam in the pieces as I mentioned 340 degrees Fahrenheit I’m suggesting maybe about two and a half minutes based upon the size of these little nuggets so that okay as we could see they’re getting nice character with those little shards

On the outside and the crusty pizzas that are sticking up and that’s what’s actually these sources what to cling to right right right cuz we pull that like this guys get a little color on here beautiful so you let him go a lot so let it continue to

Fry mm-hmm so this is enough in the spot that’s enough right now all right so we get on back and wait for them to get some come on keep going of course all right cool all right Cassie mm-hmm our thighs are crisply Friday yes you can see that nice sort of crispy exterior

Job well done they all look different on different sizes and all that good sweet and sour chicken should look like okay we play for play hood and so we don’t work we need to make new sauce and this is all what the dish is about the most

Important source of inspiration and so I the source of inspiration some inspiration it’s sweet and sour sauce America started ok panelist to medium to high heat you want to go with some vegetable oils get in leave oil yes I’m up what’s all then your tongue wanna

Listen listen listen when you see you do these guys cooking in sided restaurant is change so if we had a move quick right some fennel seeds right and what’s really surely fleecy so that you’re gonna get some heat inside it right and the fennel seeds gonna give you this a

Little bit of a nice Swedish flavor so you want to pop that into thee so we in using the oil I believe oh don’t use infusing on the show where we say impregnate we impregnate sorry we impregnating the oil we very much talk about food impregnation we have those two ingredients that make

Chinese food so delicious but of course ginger and garlic ooh a legion Jackie meant a little bit goes a long way with ginger right – again it’s again happy no it gets in a trade you know you can have sort of nice sweet flavor of the a nice people true

They get any ginger we get and ready to eat all right so we don’t wanna that I’ll go too long because it’s just more infusion right we don’t want it to burn we have white sugar we have brown sugar okay so we use in a mix it’s in a mixer

Get a molasses color from that are known as a sweetness from the white so we need a color from the bone and we just stir in this end we don’t leave in it like when we do it we’re not doing this is sweet and sour chicken that’s orange

Juice orange juice is ready Saturday the sweets components Watch it was tell me earlier on I’m government I’ll tell you now with our sweet fella what do you think it’s our that’s our show are the ingredients vinegar hose water white vinegar works cited so we have our sweet orange juice we have our sour with our vinegar yep

What did I tell you about good Asian cuisine is a balance of sweet sour so we need some soil team we are spicy do we have spicy from the beginning salty we have what is this our soy soy and this is going to help the color considerably

For that inside there and you want our low not to mix in a beautiful that I love how complex these flavors I think that’s why we love like Chinese food Japanese food only call Asian cooking really does bring if we are compromising and I think it just tickles or scintillates the palate scintillates

Until it’s you Lissette stick with me kiddo it isn’t vocabulary like it ready thank you see what’s next so what we’re going to do is unload this to cook for about two minutes okay I want us to reduced about 80% okay evaporating about 20% from there okay

What’s gonna happen is that the flavors are going to intensify right sugar is gonna mix with vinegar and everything is gonna happen nice so we see not this heat we sting O’Duffy that isn’t medium medium okay meantime what I want to do is this I have some water inside here

Mm-hmm I want to add some cornstarch you know what corsage does right yes it’s thickens things up which means this is a slurry correct so this is thickened which if you’re making soups or anything G to thicken Percy a gravy corn starch works very well to do that job Anna

Little goes a long way correct it does it does it does right so we have that going on okay so at that point in time what we gonna do give me a let’s stay there Satan Lisa and as you cook it you gain the soy sauce coming through those

Flavors man yeah man yeah it’s pretty beautiful so what we want to do is add this inside here no okay it’s gonna immediately started picking up Jesse okay okay so I’ve got to be vigilant I got to be honest eh it’ll be like a security guard a little bit of

Sesame oil so sesame oil a gang you know why we added it to the end why because it’s a finisher it’s a finishing oil Kezia and it’s correct we talked about this before I always want to add those finishing oils to the answer you pronounce flavor coming

Through right how we looking this time to get thick enough nice you man rasaan to come in somewhere now cracked it like a because we’d always alright so Cassie our sauce is looking good I agree time to put in the star ingredients which is our chicken chicken

Yeah I mean please have you come on this side well guess you need Thomas I realize that you know yeah you are lfts get right please all right so so this is our fried pieces shake shake shake she got a paper towel inside a wash can

See all right it’s a it’s a sweet and sour chicken see that’s our pea bullfighters get on the show I don’t know you know a little buffin is good okay all right if we gets inside there very good that’s mom last night the last monster

Oh no that song oh yeah yeah all right so I was in two spoons he at the same time okay I want to do is start to toss it up remember that great butter that we had yes demonize hold on a part for Miguel I got you I got

Member those beautiful butter pieces that we have that we worked on we are going to count on those to soak up that beautiful sweet and sour and here we see the color coming in you’ll see that no this doesn’t go too long again remember this is cooked we just want to allow the

Chicken to pretty much cool so cool or what did I see right so Cassie this is pretty much done in essence right I’m gonna do is just take it off his tool okay sesame seeds I’m just gonna put some on top look at looking sexy right

I think I’m turning Japanese I think I really think so all right you all know that’s a no let’s be this man he hungry all right Cassie you know I have to adorn this in the best way possible unequipping touches so we’re going with a little more sesame seeds on top

I mean presentation is hey listen that’s what we talking about right right are we going with some freshly chopped scallions chives whatever you want to call them and I mean this gives you a nice little color pop oh and I feel smell yeah because it’s so nice vibrant

Fresh flavor yeah and there we go that’s what we talking about and that’s it that’s it pretty much our sweet unsolo chicken amazing easy no chef I do have a question do I mean in Chinese restaurants sometimes you do get vegetables in there like your sweet peppers and your pineapples yes so maybe

You have these circular pieces of carrots you can add them inside there add them later on when the sauce is cooking right keep it crunch of the pineapple the carrots the peppers my about did identify eaten sweet and sour chicken I want to eat sweet and sour

Chicken you just want to check it I don’t want like 80% chicken 20 percent vegetable know how much change well then let’s see chicken speaking about chicken anything about it is that vegetarian friends I mean I’ve had incredible sweet-and-sour broccoli that’s like one of my favorite we assess it on salad
