Add a photoMy favorite chinese restaurant growing up was the Golden Star. When I moved they shared the ingredients for their sweet and sour sauce with me. I've been trying to match the flavor and working with the ingredients to get it right. It's not as good as the restaurant, but I'm getting closer. I'm still tweaking the sauce. Lots of time I don't batter my chicken and just cook the chicken in a frying pan w/ a small amount of oil to make it healthier.
Ingredients
- For the Batter:
- 2 C. flour
- 2 T. cornstarch
- 3 tsp baking pwdr
- 2 T. vegetable oil
- For the Sauce:
- 1 1/4 C. sugar
- 1/4 C + 1T. vinegar
- 3/4 C. cold water
- 3 T. cornstarch
- juice from 1 orange
- 1-2 pounds of chicken cut into bite sized pieces salted.
- oil for frying.
Directions
- Heat oil to 350 degrees
- Mix all batter ingredients together then add enough water until it resembles pancake batter. Dip chicken into batter then place in oil to fry until cooked through. 3-5 min.
- place sugar, vinegar and orange juice in a sauce pan. combine water and cornstarch. mix well until cornstarch is dissolved. add to sugar mix and bring to a boil until sugar is dissolved. pour sauce over cooked chicken and serve. You can garnish with pineapple and green peppers in the sauce if you'd like.
