  • Restaurant sweet and sour chicken is already cheap, but I think we can make a homemade version that's not only better, but even cheaper.

      Honestly I looked at HelloFresh prices (Im in UK) and I was shocked how cheap it already is. 40£ for 5 days for two people? That is already not a lot. Its 4£ per serving. Sure you can do all this stuff at home but the point of HelloFresh is that its convinient so you pay for that. I dont work at HelloFresh lol I just looked at their prices.

    • @TheStraycat74
      @TheStraycat74 Před 2 lety +57

      it's always cheaper to buy local and make it all yourself. I see hello fresh as a jump-start for people that either can't decide what to cook, not in the mood for anything in particular, lack imagination for what they already have in house, or have less experience in a kitchen. NOTHING WRONG WITH ANY OF THOSE or with Hello Fresh, just as a Very Experienced Cook I can always whip up something if I'm in the mood for it.
      heck, I keep Sushi making stuffs on hand at all times because lacking anything else I can ramen or sushi the leftovers.
      just last week I did tuna salad sushi and fried chicken tendy with french fry sushi because I had leftovers but not enough of either for a meal.

    Sweet and sour chicken actually isn't americanized. It's a common dish to find in Hong Kong and Southern China called 咕嚕肉-”goo low yolk".

      I mention I'm from Hong Kong as the city is comprised of mostly Cantonese descendants and Cantonese cooking is common.

    Sweet and sour chicken is just the American version of Cantonese sweet and sour pork. Pro-tip if you wanna reduce oil splashing and/ or the chicken from sticking together in a big clump, add the chicken to the oil around the sides of the wok and not in the center. the chicken will naturally move toward the center when added around the sides, but by the time it has reached the center the batter will have cooked enough that it won't stick to the other pieces.

    1.38- Tomato
    0.60- Green bell peppers
    0.30- REd onions
    0.63- Pineapple
    1.03- Boneless Skinless Chicken thighs
    0.001- Salt
    0.02- 2tbsp of sugar
    0.07- 3.5 table spoons of ketchup
    0.21- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
    0.20- 3 table spoons of Rice Wine vinegar
    0.06- 2 table spoons of Corn starch
    0.10- 3/4 cup AP flour
    0.06- 2 tablespoons of corn starch
    0.01- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
    0.01- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
    0.06- 1/2 cup of AP flour
    0.14- 3 cloves of garlic
    Cost of Rice and oils, both for frying and mixing into batter not accounted for.
    total cost $4.881
    So if it's $1.58 per person then that means that pot can feed 3 people which is subjective to the appetite of the people eating.
    Also it's mildly annoying that he chose to round it to 1 dollar instead of 2 dollars as the amount stipulated is 1.58 dollars.
    But great recipe nevertheless.

    great video and pretty accurate (coming from an asian)! i would personally cut the pineapples a little bigger for the extra juiciness. if you’re not into the mess from the batter, you could totally wrap the meat with vietnamese rice paper rolls and pan fry them which would also guarantee the crispiness on top of the minimal mess - also pretty inexpensive :)

      @TheStraycat74 Před 2 lety +6

      I have a personal fry machine that holds a gallon, but before that I just used cast iron and about a quart or so. 99% of the time if you do not burn the oil you can reuse it later.
      I also filter my oil after every use so it doesn't get nasty, and when it's no longer clear I dispose of it.
      IF what you are frying is thin enough you can get away with half an inch or so, so not a lot of oil

    • @ashvinvaidyanathan7239

      You can make sweet and sour chicken or pork without frying, you coat the meat with some flour than you sear in just a bit of hot oil, then make it like a stew and add the sauce at the end. It’s even better.

      That's what is so awesome bout cooking you could easily just fry the chicken unbattered in tiny amounts of oil, but I'm like you I'd love to do this but just the oil and batter turns cooking this into more of a chore. So I only do fried stuff once a month probably good for my health as well.
