Sweet and Sour Chicken (or Pork) image

I learned this recipe from my mom and I still love it! While it does take some time to make, the outcome is just as good as take-out! You will need a Fry Daddy or a frying pan with oil in order to fry the meat. Put enough oil in the frying pan so that the meat can float to the top.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 chicken breasts or 4 boneless pork chops (I usually guess on the amount I need depending on how many people will be eating)

Steps:

  • Frying the chicken (or pork): Cut up chicken (or pork) into small pieces.
  • Mix breading ingredients (it will be runny).
  • Dip each piece of meat into the breading then place into the oil until it turns brown.
  • Make sure the meat has enough time to cook before removing it.
  • Drain the fried chicken (or pork) and set aside, or place a cover over them to keep them warm.
  • Sauce: Melt the margarine in a frying pan, and add the onion, green pepper and sliced carrots.
  • I often add other peppers or snow peas as well.
  • Once the veggies are cooked stir in the rest of the ingredients EXCEPT the pineapple.
  • Cook until it boils and add cornstarch if it is too runny.
  • Finally add the Pineapple for the last 5 min.
  • of cooking time.

I used brown sugar instead of white sugar and it turned out great. The sauce had a slightly caramelized flavor that was really delicious.

I'm not a fan of pineapple, so I omitted it from the recipe. The dish was still delicious.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe with tofu instead of chicken. It turned out great! The tofu was crispy and flavorful, and the sauce was just as delicious as it is with chicken.
