Chinese Takeaway Chips

Chinese salt and pepper chips and curry chips are very popular across the UK and you can find it in most local Chinese takeaways. If you are a salt and pepper chips' fan, you can also try out our recipe.

This British Chinese curry sauce is very similar to the Japanese curry sauce but it is thicker, milder, and sweeter than Indian curries flavour.

Basically, the curry sauce base is made with curry powder, turmeric and Chinese five spices. To thicken the gravy corn starch and plain flour are added.

In this post, we're sharing how to make easy Chinese curry sauce in two methods. You can either make the curry sauce from scratch or you can make it from the ready-made curry paste. Feel free to use any of your favourite methods and make your own homemade Chinese curry chips!

1. Easy Chinese Curry Sauce Recipe

Curry Paste - To make the super fast and easy Chinese curry sauce, you'll need ready-made Chinese curry paste. In this recipe, I've used Goldfish Chinese curry paste, but you can use any of your favourite curry paste like Mayflower or Japanese curry paste/blocks.

Chicken Stock(Broth) Or Water - Use chicken stock or vegetable stock instead of water to bring more umami flavour to the curry sauce. Or you can add water with chicken stock pots or low sodium chicken bouillon stock cubes. If you don't have any chicken stock in hand you can simply add water.

How to make it - Heat a tablespoon of oil and add the curry paste, stir for few seconds, then pour the water/chicken stock in. Add salt and sugar to taste. Stir well with low heat until the curry paste becomes smooth and silky or your desire consistency. (Add more water if the sauce is too thick. )

2. How To Make Chinese Curry From Scratch

To make this creamy homemade curry sauce, you will need chicken stock, curry powder, turmeric, Chinese five spices powder, salt, sugar, corn starch, and plain flour. Place all the ingredients in a pan and stir with low-medium heat until it gets thick and silky.

Suggest using chicken stock or broth instead of water to achieve the umami curry taste. It tastes just like your favorite Chinese takeaway or maybe better! You can adjust the chilli powder amount if you wish to make it mild kid-friendly curry sauce.

You can add this curry sauce to any of your favourite meat, seafood, tofu, or vegetables and make it a delicious Chinese curry dish.

How to make ahead or store it? If you wish to make it ahead or store the leftover curry sauce, add it in the air-tight container or jars. Keep it in the fridge, it usually lasts for up to 7 days, or freeze it in a freezer, it usually lasts for a couple of months.

How to reheat? Simply defrost it in the fridge or microwave. Reheat with microwave or heat over the stovetop until hot. If the gravy is too thick, add a splash of water to achieve your desire consistency.

Frying Chips

I usually use frozen straight-cut chips for curry chips, whenever we make it at home. But feel free to use any frozen or fresh chips of your choice.

Deep fry or Air fry? I love the deep-fried crispy golden chips. However, you can fry it in the air fryer or bake it in the oven until crispy, according to the packet instructions.

Tips - Before air frying, spray or brush extra cooking oil on the chips to achieve the perfect crispy texture.

Which oil is best for deep frying? Neutral flavour oil is best for deep frying. You can use sunflower, peanut, canola, vegetable oil, etc.

How To Serve It

You can simply serve the chips and curry sauce on its own as an appetizer or snack. Or pair it with other dishes and make it a perfect family dinner. Here is more of our viewers' favourite Chinese takeout recipes that you might like :
