Asian cuisine is popular all over the world. Many people enjoy its taste not only in restaurants, but also at home, mastering new recipes. One of the dishes you can prepare yourself is sweet and sour chicken.
It is necessary
- For chicken with vegetables:
- - 20 g chicken breast;
- - 15 ml of soy sauce;
- - half a teaspoon of cornstarch;
- - olive oil;
- - half a small onion;
- - 2 handfuls of cherry tomatoes (about 20 pieces);
- - half each red and black pepper;
- For sweet and sour sauce:
- - a tablespoon of chopped ginger root;
- - 30 ml of honey;
- - 90 ml each of orange juice, classic ketchup and white vinegar;
Instructions
Step 1
Cut the chicken into small pieces about 1 by 3 cm in size. In a bowl, mix the chicken pieces with soy sauce and starch.
Step 2
In another bowl, combine all the ingredients for the sweet and sour sauce.
Step 3
Cut the onion into feathers, the cherry tomatoes into halves, and the pepper into slices about the same size as the chicken.
Step 4
Heat 15 ml of vegetable oil in a wok (or in a regular frying pan). When the oil starts to smoke a little, gently spread the chicken in one layer and fry for 2 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces over and fry for about a minute, transfer to a plate. If the chicken is not completely fried, it's okay - it will be cooked later along with the vegetables and sauce.
Step 5
We reduce the heat to medium temperature, pour 15 ml of vegetable oil into the pan, fry the onions, stirring constantly for a minute, add the tomatoes and peppers, fry for another 2-3 minutes, without ceasing to stir all the ingredients.
Step 6
We return the chicken to the pan, fill it with sweet and sour sauce, mix all the ingredients thoroughly. Bring the sauce to a boil and simmer the chicken and vegetables for literally 2-3 minutes. The finished dish goes best with rice.
