Sweet and Sour Chicken


For chicken:
1 lb boneless white chicken cut into bite size pieces
2 tsp ginger, garlic and chilli paste
2 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp corn flour
1 egg
Salt and pepper
Oil for deep frying

For the sauce:
2 cloves of garlic finely chopped
2 spring onion chopped just the green parts
2 tbsp tomato sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp white vinegar
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp chilli sauce
2 tsp corn flour
1 tsp oil
Salt and pepper

Marinate chicken with all the ingredients under chicken except corn flour and egg for 2 -3 hours in refrigerator.

Add corn flour and egg to the marinated chicken and mix well. Chicken should be well coated with the batter, add a little water if necessary.

Deep fry chicken, do not over cook. I recommend double frying.

For the Sauce add oil to the sauce pan fry garlic just a little, add all the ingredients except spring onions and corn flour. Add a cup of water and bring it to a boil.

Add corn flour dissolved in water. This makes the sauce thick. Adjust the sauces to taste.

Add the fried chicken pieces and chopped spring onions.



Serve it piping hot with fried rice. :)
