Sweet & Sour Chicken
Chinese food cooked in your own home – what could be easier! And this is a super easy Sweet & Sour Chicken recipe to get you started. Using fresh pineapple makes all the difference, so do this dish (and yourself!) a favor and take the extra effort to cut up a real pineapple. Or better yet, buy one that is already peeled and cored!
In a large bowl toss the chicken with 4 tsp cornstarch until fully coated. Pour over 1 Tbsp soy sauce and toss until coated. Set aside.
In another bowl whisk together the remaining cornstarch and soy sauce, along with the ketchup, sugar, vinegar and pineapple juice. Set aside.
