SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN STIR FRY



Sweet and Sour Chicken Stir Fry image

I like S&S chicken, but not too sweet. The banana ketchup has some sweetness to it already, so I skip the sugar. Suit yourself! It works either way!

Categories     Chicken

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 oz fresh pineapple, cut into chunks
1 large chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 medium onion, cut into wedges
1/2 medium red pepper, diced
1/4 c sliced carrot rounds
2 Tbsp banana ketchup (or regular ketchup with an added 1 tb brown sugar)
1 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1/8 tsp salt - or to taste
2 Tbsp cornstarch - divided
1 tsp peanut oil (use your favorite to stir fry)
few dash(es) sesame oil - for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. In a measuring cup, combine 1/2 cup of water, ketchup and the brown sugar if using regular ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar, salt and 1 Tb. cornstarch. (I buy my fresh pineapple cored, so there's usually a little pineapple juice in the bottom of the container - use that instead of water if you have it!) Set aside.
  • 2. Put rest of cornstarch in a zipper bag, add chicken and shake to coat.
  • 3. In wok, heat oil, add chicken and veggies. Stir fry until chicken is cooked. Make a well in the center. Add reserved liquid mixture. Stir until mixture thickens. Add pineapple chunks. Sprinkle a few drops sesame oil on top. Serve with rice.

Tips:

  • If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or Dutch oven instead.
  • Be sure to preheat your wok or skillet over high heat before adding the oil.
  • Stir-fry the chicken in small batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the pan and steam instead of fry.
  • Don't overcook the chicken, or it will become tough.
  • Add the vegetables to the wok or skillet in order of how long they take to cook, starting with the vegetables that take the longest.
  • Serve the stir-fry immediately over rice or noodles.
