Sweet and Sour Chicken

Sweet and Sour Chicken

2 to 3 large chicken breasts

2/3 cup cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 1/2 cups Whole Wheat flour

1 egg

Water

Cut the chicken breasts up into little bite sized chunks. Once chicken is cut up, put into a Tupperware with 1/3 cup of the cornstarch, the salt and pepper, put on lid and shake to coat. 

 In a separate bowl add wheat flour, 1/3 cup cornstarch, egg and then add enough water to make a batter about the same as a pancake batter. I also add a dash of salt and pepper to the batter. 

Heat up some oil, about a half inch deep. Dip chicken pieces into batter and add to oil. Once they are golden brown on one side, flip over until they are golden brown on both sides. It doesn't take long. Drain onto paper towels.

Sweet and Sour Sauce

1/3 cup rice vinegar

8 Tbsp brown sugar

1 Tbsp Ketchup

1 tsp. Soy Sauce

2 tsp. cornstarch added to 4 tsp. water

Mix together vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup and soy sauce in a small sauce pan. Mix water and cornstarch together in a bowl. Once mix is boiling add cornstarch mix into pan and whisk until thick!

We like to make this in conjunction with the veggie egg foo young recipe previously posted. It is an excellent combo. Enjoy!
