Love how you always encourage us to adjust to our own tastes rather than "demand" x amount of this or that is used. Your delivery is fantastic and actually makes me WANT to have a go at recipes that perhaps I wouldn't normally. Much respect and thanks to you Rik x
oh rik where's the bean sprouts ?
I can't wait to try this, it looks scrummy
CHICKEN AND MUSHROOMS
LOOKS DIVINE 👌👍
CHEF RIK I LOVE ALL THE VEGETABLES 🫑🌶️🧅🧄🍗🍗
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a great recipe. Can almost smell it from here. Never ate mushrooms growing up but as an adult I got to love them. I always stick them in my green salads. So good. I just wish my throat would tolerate spicy food. But no so i guess i could cut down on black pepper but then it wouldnt be savory black pepper chicken. Ny grandson is😊 the opposite loves everything spicy hot so i may make this one for him. Thank you chef Rik.
My goodness that looks great! I love the sesame garnish too
That’s a flavor explosion 💥, right there!! I love this kind of dish! Thanks, Rik.
Top Notch, Rik.
Looks fantastic
Love this dish usually order
It from Chinese restaurants, but now will make it at home all thanks to you ❤❤❤
Belting!
Lovely rik
Love the chopsticks rik you are the master
This would be great with noodles.
This looks great, Rik, I bet the smell was amazing when you were cooking that! I am going to buy some mushrooms this weekend for sure!
nice one Cyril
What is his accent. Is it Yorkshire?
Looks delicious, making for dinner tonight. Thanks Rik
Yum! Just got a new wok! Can't wait to try this out!
👁️🫶🏼👁️
Another winner here
Sounds D-Lish can’t wait to try this in my kitchen …🍷here’s to you Chef Rik
You have me fascinated. You really can cook. Youve made a stir fry on the stove not a stew, its hard to do.
Its a detective story, maybe a services cook, then on a ship in the FE, maybe a stint at the Dorchester who knows.
Theres just something no one can put their finger on.
Looks bloody delicious as usual. Thank you Rik😅😊
I just bought he a wok and I know how im going to break it in
Looks absolutely lovely, Rik!
Must have missed you putting the chicken back in!!!!!
Hi Rik, thought I’d blinked and missed the chicken going back in 😧 then I read your notes 😉 yet another fantastic dish, 👏 we’re having this tonight. 👍 Thank You
Hi Rix, looks a delicious stir fry, you certainly know how to cook all types of dishes 😊
For garlic and ginger paste, I like those frozen cubes you can get. However, for stir fry I like to add a small handful of matchstick-chopped ginger in there for those bursts of gingery goodness.
Looks super, Rik. It's 09:30 here and I could scran a plate of that right now 😋
I missed the bit that said add the cooked chicken back to the pan. I watched it 3 times. Was it there or did you forget to say it and show it?? Or am I just having a senior moment and missing things you say??
Oh rik these recipes are brilliant, i just need to get the rice vinegar now
Thank you Rik 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Oh i love your recipe sir👍
Going to give it a whirl soon mate. Now you have to settle the argument what’s the stone in your ring? Looser has to do the dishes when we make it 😂. Cheers
Looks delicious 😋.
I think you are now my favourite YouTube cook. Thanks for the great recipes
I bet that is a big hit Rik, thank you for all the beautiful recipes and easy going ,non fussy instructions. You’re the best! 🙌🏼♥️.
That is how I stir-fry. Beef could be substituted for the chicken as well, which ironically is what my supper will be. I always cut out the green sprouts in the middle of the onions.
Good job chef
Chef, this was amazing! I changed a couple of things up a bit, like using beef strips instead of chicken, I didn't have oyster sauce so I used hoisin sauce instead and omitted the sesame seeds because I don't like them. But wow, it tasted gorgeous. It tasted almost like beef chow mein, we were really impressed 👍🏻. Definitely going to make it again, thanks for all of your hard work 😊xx
🎉🎉🎉 When did you add that ready chicken to it..??????? I think you added, but that part didn't come in video.. is it??
WAO
❤
When do you add chicken to vegetables? I think you missed that step
I made this tonight for dinner. Delicious! Peppery for sure and I didn’t need to thicken it. So good. Will definitely make this again. Thanks Rik 🙏🏻
