Sweet & Sour Chicken with Pineapple Fried Rice
Who doesn’t love sweet and sour? I bet you it is the most ordered dish in Chinese restaurants all over Malta! And we all have attempted to replicate it at home! So, here is your chance to either make it from scratch, or with a little help from Tesco, use a ready made sauce and one, two, three….done! Ingredients:
Method:
2 Chicken Breasts (approx 750gr) – or Lean Pork 1 Cup Tesco Corn Flour 1 egg 1 cup Water Salt and Pepper 1 Red Pepper 1 can of Tesco Pineapple Rings 4 Spring Onions Tesco Sesame Seeds
1. Dice the chicken and sprinkle with salt and fine pepper.
Ingredients For the Sauce 1 tbsp Tesco Dark Soya Sauce 2/3 Cup White Sugar 4 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar 2/3 Cup Water 3 tbsp Tesco Corn Flour 1/2 Cup Tesco Ketchup
Ingredients For Pineapple Fried Rice 500 grams Tesco Long Grain Rice 1 Pineapple 5 spring Onions 4 Springs fresh Garlic Tesco Light Soya Sauce 1 can Baby Corn 1 tsp Tesco Chinese 5 Spice Vegetable oil
2. Make the batter by beating 1 egg with 1 cup of water, then mixing it to 1 cup of cornflour. Add the chicken to the batter, mix and stand for 30 minutes. 3. In hot oil, deep fry the chicken pieces in batches and cook until golden (8 -10 min). Place on kitchen paper until all the chicken is done. At this stage you can proceed to making the sauce; or mix the chicken and Tesco Sweet and Sour Sauce and warm through together.
How to make the sauce 1. Mix all the ingredients and whisk until evenly combined. 2. In a wok, or large non stick pan, heat some vegetable oil and when very hot, add the spring onions and red peppers. Cook quickly for a minute, then add the chicken and pineapple, pour the sauce over it and mix well. Reduce heat and stir until it thickens. If you would like a looser sauce, just add a little more water. Serve hot, over fried rice. Garnish with chopped spring onions and sesame seeds.

How to make the Pineapple Fried Rice 1. In a wok or large non stick pan, heat some oil and add the Chinese 5 Spice. Heat well, then add the sliced Spring onions. Cook very quickly. 2. Add the chopped garlic, toss for a few seconds, then add the drained and sliced baby corn and cook quickly, add the cooked rice (well drained), season with soya sauce to taste and keep stirring. Cook until the rice heats through. At the end add some chopped pineapple and serve.
