Well guys I promised you a recipe so I better deliver! I made a sweet & sour chicken last night. If you like these from a takeaway I'd recommend this as it really tastes like one & is way healthier
Coat chopped chicken fillets in 50g of instant mash powder (sounds weird but it works) & 1 tbsp of lemon pepper.. spray with oil & put on baking tray in oven for about 15-20 mins at 220 degrees
Sauce & veg
Chop 2 peppers (I use green & yellow) & fry them for a few mins & then remove & set aside
Next fry 2-3 cloves of garlic (chopped or mashed) & 1 chopped red chilli for a minute or two
Add 330 mls of orange soda (Fanta or Club). This can be full sugar or diet
Add 3 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp oyster sauce. 2 tbsps passatta, 4 tsps chinese spice powder, 4 tsps white rice vinegar, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Let this boil for a few mins then reduce to simmer. If you need to thicken more, mix 1 tsp cornflower with a little water & add gradually until it thickens
When chicken is done in the oven add this into the mix for a few mins. It's ready to dish up now!
Sprinkle seasame seeds, spring onion & more chilli on top if you want
Hey presto, fake take away sweet & sour!
