Sweet & Sour Chicken
Sweet and sour chicken is made with crispy chicken pieces coated in a tangy, sweet sauce and vegetables for a flavorful, classic dish.
- 1 Large Egg
- 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2 Tbsp Chinese Rice Vinegar
- ½ Cup Cornflour
- ½ Cup Vegetable Oil
- Large Tin Pineapple Rings (chopped and juice reserved)
- 3 Tbsp Cornflour
- ½ Cup Water
- 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2 Tbsp White Wine Vinegar
- 1 Tbsp Fresh Ginger (grated)
- 2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
- 4 Tbsp Tomato Ketchup
- ½ Tsp Red Chillies (Chopped)
- 1 Tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 Large Onion (roughly chopped)
- Red and Green Pepper (roughly chopped)
In a large bowl whisk egg, soy sauce and rice vinegar. Add chicken pieces, mix well and allow to marinate for 30 minutes covered.
Place cornflour in a large baking dish. Pour chicken and marinade into the cornflour and coat the chicken.
Heat the oil in a large pan. When it is hot fry the chicken in batches in a single layer for about 5 minutes turning half way through.
When ready pick them up and place on a plate lined with a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
Put 3 table spoons of the reserved pineapple juice in a bowl, stir in the cornflour then stir in the remaining pineapple juice and all the other ingredients.
Fry the onions and peppers for about 5 minutes until they start to soften slightly, add the sauce and simmer until thickened.
Toss the chicken into the sauce until evenly coated (about 2 minutes).
Serve on a bed of rice and garnish with some sesame seeds.
Enjoy!
