1st attempt at Sweet & Sour Chicken

Haven't really tried it before I think.... can't really recall. Anyways, this was my improvised version of Sweet & Sour Chicken.

Ingredients:

1/2 Chicken - cut up to bite size pieces

1/2 Red capsicum

1/2 Green capsicum

1 Large Onion

Marinade:

1 Egg

2 Tsp Salt

2 Tsp Xiao Shing Wine

Sprinkle of pepper & sesame oil

Sauce:

5 Tbsp Tomato Ketchup

2 Tbsp Plum Sauce (actually suppose to use Oyster Sauce, salty enough to even out the sourness of tomato ketchup)

1 Tsp Sugar

2 Tsp Salt (since didn't use Oyster Sauce)

Method:

1. Marinade bite sized chicken and keep refridgerated for 2 hours minimum.

2. Heat up 1 cup of oil in frying pan / wok in medium high fire. Fry the marinated chicken till golden brown or just right. Lower the fire if the pan / wok starts to "smoke up" too much. It's an indication your oil/pan is too hot already. Put aside fried chicken

3. Remove access oil and leave about 3 Tbsp of oil behind to stir fry the onions & capsicums. Add water till it just about covers the onions & capsicum. Leave it to boil a bit to cook them. When it's just about right, colour of the onion & capsicum still bright add in the sauce. Taste the sauce to your liking and then add the fried chicken bites. Stir in the sauce to the chicken & it'll be ready to be dished out.
