I cooked some noodles, and stir fried some sliced chicken breast. After a few minutes, I added a splosh of soy and a splash of rice wine, and let them bubble away. The chicken became brown, and sticky. I then added sliced spring onions, finely chopped ginger and garlic, and slices of red chilli. Then the drained, cooked noodles went in. Finally I had some chow mein sauce from the chinese supermarket, and totally overdoing it, added that too. Perhaps this final step was not absolutely necessary.
I have chilli, garlic & ginger fumes coming out of my nose. This really was bloody delicious.

Deep Fried Chicken Balls, with Sweet & Sour Sauce
I made chicken balls at home last night, using a recipe by Papercuts777 - thanks Cuts! His video can be found here:
http://www.ifood.tv/recipe/chicken-balls-1
The batter was a cup of plain flour, 1.5 tsp baking powder, salt & pepper, an egg, dash of milk, and water. Coat chicken cubes in the batter and drop into oil as hot as you dare (I put my fryer on maximum). Cook the balls for 4-5 minutes. There will probably be some delicious scrumps to eat too.
End result. For the sauce, do about a cup and a half of chicken stock, tsp ginger, half cup of vinegar, 1 cup brown sugar, a big squirt of ketchup, 1 tbsp cornflour .. and pineapple.

Homemade Chinese Takeaway Part 2: Prawn Chow Mein
Please, begin with raw prawns. If you use cooked ones, they will be like little blobs of rubber at the end. These had sat in a tub in a fridge with a load of crushed garlic and ginger, before frying.
I added some shredded vegetables, beansprouts and stuff, then some sauce and noodles.
Completed gastro-symphony.
Homemade Chinese Takeaway Part 1: Lily Kwok's Curry

The recipe for this curry can be found here. Or just put "Lily Kwok" in Google. I always add some coconut milk too.
