Lost In Xanadu Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Thought I'd share... I've tried a few different sweet and sour recipes and haven't found one I really liked until I started mixing recipes (Chinese and Thai) Cook the chicken however you want... I sliced thin, coated in cornstarch and did a really hot, really quick stir fry. Set on paper towel to dry inside the oven set to "keep warm" (or the lowest your oven will go.) For the sauce: 20oz can crushed pineapple + enough pineapple juice to make 3 cups total.3 cloves minced garlic1/2 Cup rice wine vinegar2/3 Cup ketchup3/4 Cup white sugar2 TB fish sauce1 tsp soy sauce1 tsp ground ginger1 TB Sriracha (+/- to taste - this is quite mild)1 TB lemon juice1 1/2 TB cornstarch1/4 Cup water Dissolve cornstarch into the water, mix everything together and bring to a boil, stirring quite often to make sure the sugar doesn't burn. Once it boils, reduce to simmer until ready to use, stir occasionally. We served it with rice and a side of sauteed snap peas and bean sprouts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 What is fish sauce?I wonder if he means cocktail sauce? He can't mean tartar sauce, or can he? In any event, the recipe sounds delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost In Xanadu Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Fish sauce is like soy sauce, made with pressed anchovies. Look in the Asian food aisle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
