For New Years Eve we like to do a big Chinese takeout dinner at home. Going out to get takeout from our favorite restaurant is about a 45 minute trip, round trip and it ends up costing over $80 for the four of us. And besides, let’s be serious, who wants to go out in the freezing cold to get Chinese food on New Years Eve? Not me. Brrr!

For about $10, I can make enough Sweet and Sour Chicken to feed us for two dinners, or we can invite some friends over! It’s a win – win situation! I can even serve it with a frozen egg roll, or potsticker, if I choose, for that price.

Sweet and Sour Chicken Recipe, How to Make it

1. I bought chicken tenders, rather than chicken breasts, to make it a bit easier.
2. Place cornstarch in a bowl.
3. Whisk eggs in another bowl.
4. Coat chicken in cornstarch, I usually dump a handful of the chicken in the cornstarch and stir them around, to coat.
5. Now dip coated chicken pieces in egg.
6. Place a few tablespoons of oil in wok or frying pan. Brown chicken on both sides. Place browned chicken on plate to hold.
7. Cut peppers in large chunks.
8. Stir fry just a few minutes, to soften.
9. Stir fry broccoli for a couple minutes.

Place remainder of ingredients in pan, bring to boil, cook down until about half, then add cornstarch and water slurry, to thicken. Add chicken back in to warm. When chicken is warm, add peppers. Serve hot with jasmine rice.

Sweet and sour is an old dish, some say it originated in China in the Hunan Province, but there is evidence of the dish in the UK in the Middle Ages, according to Wikipedia!
