Much healthier than the fried rice. You don’t see Chinese folks eating fried rice, always boiled rice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BarneyBattles Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 The quality of Chinese takeaways in Midlothian is very disappointing. New ish one in newtongrange is ok, that’s about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad Magic Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Thing with Chinese takeaway crispy chilli beef is its 95% coating and 5% beef inside. That’s fair enough they are looking to minimise costs and maximise margin. Have you ever cut a piece and seen how much meat is actually in there? Next to nothing. You can buy from the super market what used to be called “minute” steaks. Or sometimes called frying steaks? Basically they are very thin cut steaks and are perfect. Take 3 or 4 of these and with a sharp knife slice these into very thin strips. The thinner the better as they will crisp up quicker yet you will get a load more meat in your dish than any takeaway. When you have all your thin strips lightly dust with plain flower and shallow fry in a wok until crispy. Its a bit laborious but take your time until all the beef is fried super crispy and set aside on kitchen towel to dry off the oil. In a medium sized pan add a bit of water, 1/4 of a pint of fresh orange juice (no bits), 4 or 5 table spoons of light soy sauce and 1 small bottle of sweet chilli sauce. If you have a big bottle use 3/4 of that. Bring this all to the boil then simmer down to reduce consistency. Add a chopped and sliced red pepper to the sauce. Simmer for a good 20-25 minutes until it’s reduced right down to a sticky consistency. Add the beef back to the sauce and stir in till it’s all coated in the sticky sauce and heated through. Serve with rice or noodles of your choice but garnish the beef with sesame seeds. Enjoy 👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I used to go to a place where I tried it and it was lovely. The chicken was in this sticky sort of dark red/orange coloured sauce much like sweet and sour, but had a little kick to it. I don't like sweet and sour, but I loved this stuff. Had it in a couple of other places though and it's never been like that. Been in a darker, brown sauce, not much kick to it.

Vlad Magic Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Since starting to cook all my own takeaway favourites I’ve saved a fortune on food. Its also much tastier, more meat and no MSG!! I tried a Jamie Oliver recipe from his Friday night takeaway show (the one on the pier) and it’s bloody amazing and very simple. There is also a fantastic You Tube channel called “Wok Wednesdays” that I recommend. Takes you through all the popular Chinese dishes from start to finish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

After a quick google search it appears it is no longer in business. Jong Po Chicken Dice chicken breasts into cubes, roll in rice flour and fry Fry large chopped onion pieces, tin of bamboo shoots, water chestnuts in a wok Add in chicken pieces Add Hoi Sin sauce (have tried loads, Blue Dragon works best with this recipe) Anyone who likes Peking Duck will love this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
