Sweet and
Sour Chicken
www.letsgetcooking.org.uk
Method
1. Peel the onion. Cut in half and slice into thin strips about ½cm thick.
2. Wash the peppers, cut in half and remove the seeds and white pith.
Cut each piece in half and slice into strips about ½cm thick.
3. Open the can of pineapple chunks and use a sieve to drain the
pineapple juice into a measuring jug.
Prepare now, eat later
Prepare ahead?
4. Mix the corn flour with a little pineapple juice to make a paste. Stir
in the remaining juice, with the ketchup, soy sauce, wine vinegar
and water.
• The chicken and vegetables can be
prepared in advance and stored in
separate containers in the fridge
until they are required.
5. On a different chopping board, cut the chicken into 1cm strips. Now
wash your hands after touching the raw chicken.
Keep for later?
6. Put the wok on the hob and turn on to a medium heat. Add one 15ml
spoon of oil.
• Cool as quickly as possible then
store, covered, in the fridge, for up
to 24 hours. Reheat until piping
hot and eat immediately.
7. Put half the chicken into the wok and cook for four minutes, stirring
all the time. The chicken will change colour from pink to white then
light brown. Remove the chicken using the draining spoon and put
onto a plate. Leave as much oil in the pan as possible.
AUT09 / AP1 / 4
8. Repeat with the rest of the chicken, adding this to the plate when
cooked.
9. Put another 15ml spoon of oil in the wok, add the onion and peppers
and cook for three minutes.
10. Stir in the chicken and pineapple.
11.Add the sauce and stir until the mixture thickens. Simmer for five
minutes.
12.Season with black pepper.
Something to try next time
• Try substituting lean pork or tofu for the chicken.
• Add 50g of sliced mangetout with the other vegetables at step 9.
