sweet & sour chicken
chicken tenders
cornstarch
sauce
6 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
6 tablespoons sugar
1 cup water
4 carrots
1 bell pepper
4 large mushrooms
1 handful snow peas
1 handful sprouts
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
rinse and cut vegetables into similar size pieces. set aside. cut chicken into one inch pieces. roll in cornstarch. heat oil in heavy skillet over medium-high heat. when oil is ready, add chicken pieces. stir meat until it is evenly golden brown. remove pan from heat. with slotted spoon remove chicken from oil and drain on paper towels. while the chicken is browning, combine in large saucepan ketchup, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, and 1 cup water (i like a good amount of sauce to pieces ratio so i double the sauce recipe). bring to boil. to sauce add hard vegetables and simmer for 10 minutes. then add soft vegetables and simmer for 2 minutes more. blend cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water in separate small bowl. add to sauce, cooking and stirring, until sauce becomes thick and translucent. stir in chicken.
serve with steamed rice.
