My fault Solar, I picked them up from my Asian supermarket...the instructions are in Chinese

Hi Fellas, hope one of you can help.

Just bought some Knorr chicken stock cubes for a Chinese recipe that I'm working on but when I've got them home, they don't tell me how much water to disolve them in.  I've never used them before, so have no idea.

I know Chicken Oxo's usually take about 190 - 200ml of water per cube but I don't know if it's the same for Knorr.

Can anyone help...URGENT.!

Hi Smoothound, and many thanks for an honest assessment of my RJ.

QuoteSo anyway, the one last night I followed the recipe to the letter and it wasn't quite as good.  I think it missed the tom puree and extra sweetness.

This could be for a few of reasons

1) My base isn't quite as tasty as Razors
2) My tomatoes aren't very good
3) My local BIR do it with tom puree and sugar

To try to offer a few answers to your theories;

1) I don't actually use my own base sauce in this recipe, much preferring to use Chewy's 3 hr base because of it's 'BIR' sweetness.  Which base sauce and spice mix did you use if you don't mind me asking mate?

2) When ever I cook this, I always use very ripe, red tomatoes.  Obviously, this ensures that they are quite sweet, and breakdown in the sauce perfectly.

3) I wouldn't doubt for a minute that your local BIR does use tom puree, although I'm not so sure about sugar?  I've been trying for a long time to get rid of sugar in my BIR cooking, but still get a lovely sweetness in the dishes.  I think that Chewy's base goes a very long way in helping me with this, and is why I use it as standard these days.

Very pleased that you tried the dish and tweaked it to suit your taste....that, is what it's all about in my opinion!

Well done mate, and many thanks,

Ray

Hi Miss,

Quotep.s. Razor, I spent a night in Manchester city last May, right before my flight back to the US - nice city, we enjoyed ourselves!

Glad to hear that you enjoyed yourself in my hometown.  It's a different matter when you live here though ha ;D

LOL Razor, but you are right mate!!

I think there should be a therapy section on this forum for those addictions.......

Never a truer word spoken lol ;D

Hi Miss Lister, and a very warm welcome from across the pond here in sunny Manchester :

Glad that you have had success on your first BIR venture but you do realise that this is just the beginning?  Before you know it, curry will be the first thing on your mind when you wake of a morning, and the last thing on your mind as you drift off to the land of nod ;D

Well done, and 'curry on'

Ray

Also, are you suggesting that Razor is talking rubbish or that personal safety when getting together with strangers, is of no concern?

To be honest, my concern was for the strangers My wife is a proper nutjob

What on earth are these post's about?  I can't make 'head nor tail' of it

Sorry NJ, can't help I'm affraid.  My good lady doesn't give them a chance to break as the popular colour scheme of the moment dictates how many kettles we go through.  Poppy Red ones are good though
