Alright.. why is there another sweet and sour chicken recipe?? Just because I added some ginger this time so I create another post?? Haha..! No no no.. Not that.. But this dish has always been my all time favorite sweet and sour dish by my beloved dad!! I've always love the gingerly taste that comes along with the sweet and yet sour taste, so I can't help it but to feature it inside my blog and for my future reference too!
This dish again I have to say is a pretty simple dish and the ingredients for it is also easily available in your kitchen!! So its an ideal dish for a quick meal with your loved ones or just for yourself.
Ingredients:
3 pieces of chicken thigh
3 gloves of garlic (finely chop)
Half or 3 quarter of a standard size ginger (sliced thinly)
Oil for frying (chicken)
A cup of Water
Seasoning (for the chicken):
Salt and sugar
Or you can use 1/2 cube of chicken granules/chicken stock
Sauce: (you can adjust based on your liking)
5 tbsp of chili sauce
5 tbsp of ketchup
Alternative for sweet and sour sauce:
Water 250ml
Sugar 350g
Salt a pinch
Brown sugar 120g
White Vinegar 150ml
Directions:
1. Cut the chicken thigh to small pieces and marinate it with sugar and salt. Set aside for 3 hours. (If you prefer stronger taste for your chicken bits, use chicken granules instead)
2. Heat up a wok under high heat and pour in oil
3. Make sure that the depth of the oil is sufficient to cover all the chicken
4. Fry the chicken till 70% cooked (around 10 to 15 minutes depending on the amount of chicken)
5. Scoop up the chicken leaving the oil in the wok
6. Fry the sliced ginger (to bring out the full flavor of the ginger)
7. Drained the oil leaving ginger and a little bit of oil
8. Put in the garlic and sauteed till light brown
9. Pour in the chicken and stir fry for just a few minutes
10. Pour in water till it covers all the chicken
11. Add in chili and ketchup sauce
12. Taste the sauce and add additional chili or ketchup according to your liking
13. Cover the wok with a lid and let it simmer till the sauce thicken
14. Scoop up and serve!
You can try using other poultry as well and I am sure it will taste as good because for me, the main actor in this dish is the sauce. Sometimes you just can't believe how easy is to cook a good sweet and sour sauce. And besides that, adding some corn flour to the chicken before frying can make it crispier and I shall try that the next time around!
