Chinese curry sauce

[keeley78]

I use these, ones paste ones powder, both very similar taste but the Maysan paste is slightly nicer I think, I don�t like the Mayflower one

Thanks for all the replies!

Maysan, goldfish, mayflower just seem to be off the mark compared to the takeaway curry sauce for me.

I have ordered a jar of Wingyip though so will give that a go!

Maykway I will also check out.

Will report back with Wingyip results next week!

When we get a Chinese I buy a few extra and freeze them , it always seems to defrost and taste ok.
You could ask your local one which one they use, who knows if you are a regular they might let you buy one.
My local butcher uses a fab Chinese marinade , I asked what it was and he said it was a secret but he gave me a small clear bag full to try at home.

Youngs curry sauce it is identical, we where told wrap chicken breast in tin foil and cook in oven for about 20 minutes, at same time make sauce in a big pot after it thickens add chicken, cook for short period, add lots of chopped onions then cook for few minutes only.

Same. I always get this one and it�s actually nicer than some I�ve had from the Chinese.
I like it a bit thicker.

Mayflower is the best we've found too but there's a depth to the takeaway sauce that I can't quite put my finger on.

I've tried Eastern Star curry powder doing a paste from scratch but I'm still missing that flavour.

Pinning my hopes on wingyip, maykway and I might give the goldfish another try.

As an aside I started following Ziangs food workshop on YouTube. It's a mother and son doing authentic recipes. We'll worth a watch if you like Chinese and funny too.

Yeah I do mine thicker too and cook my chicken breasts in foil in the oven first with sliced onions and I always add frozen peas to the sauce when I add the chicken and onions.

Same, except I marinade my chicken in cornflour and water and then poach it before frying in the wok with the onion and peas
Makes the chicken really nice and soft!
Going to have to have this next week, thanks OP 😋
