Sweet & Sour Chicken

Sauce Ingredients

(We doubled the sauce recipe!)

• 3 tbsp sugar


• 3 tbsp vinegar


• 3 tbsp water


• 2 tbsp ketchup


• 1 tbsp soy sauce


• 1-1/2 tsp corn starch

Sauce directions
Mix all sauce ingredients over medium heat until sugar is disolved.

Ingredients

• Chicken, cut into chunks


• 2 tsp soy sauce


• 2 tsp sherry (optional)


• 1 egg white


• 1/2 cup cornstarch


• Canola oil


• 1 green pepper, cut into chunks


• 1/2 white onion, cut into chunks


• 2 tsp garlic


• Green onion, chopped

Directions

1. Marinate chicken in soy sauce and sherry for 30-60 minutes.


2. Add egg white to chicken.


3. Put cornstarch in ziploc bag. Add chicken to the bag and shake to coat chicken with the cornstarch.


4. Put oil in cooking pan (enough to submerge chicken chunks about half way) and bring to high heat. Turn down to medium heat and add chicken. Fry chicken on one side, turning over when golden brown. Continue frying until chicken is cooked through.


5. Remove chicken from oil and set aside on paper towel, allowing to drain.


6. Save 2 tbsp of used oil. Add garlic. Allow garlic to brown and then add onion and green pepper. Cook through. Add green onion. Pour in sauce and bring to boil. Add cooked chicken and stir to coat.
