Cómo preparar Beth's Best Sweet And Sour Chicken
- Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized nuggets.
- In a bowl, whisk together the egg, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 teaspoons cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper.
- Add the chicken nuggets to the bowl, stir to coat, and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (or overnight).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
- Add the marinated chicken to the flour mixture; gently toss until well coated. Do not drain the marinade.
- Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the chicken nuggets in batches until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
- Keep the cooked chicken warm in a low oven while you prepare the sauce.
- While the chicken is frying, chop the vegetables and set aside.
- In a saucepan, combine 1 1/4 cups sugar, 1 cup chicken broth, 3/4 cup rice wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 2 teaspoons soy sauce, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Bring to a boil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water until smooth.
- Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the boiling sauce. Cook and stir for 10-15 seconds, or until thickened.
- Stir in the chopped vegetables and pineapple chunks.
- Bring the sauce back to a boil, cooking until the vegetables are tender.
- Pour the sauce over the warm chicken nuggets or serve on the side. Serve with fried rice or noodles.
