    I wanted to post a recipe for Vinayak Chaturthi, but couldn't hold myself from sharing this one. I was high from winning the Skyscanner contest in my Tomato Blog. A voucher of 5k isn't that bad, right? 😛 So, I headed straight to kitchen to celebrate my win. 🙂

    This sweet, salty and spicy dish is a perfect Asian recipe. It is semi dry in a Chinese red sauce. A must-try, P was hogging every bit of it. <3

    Mangolian Chicken

    Ingredients:

    Chicken, boneless- 200gms, cut into small cubes

    Marinate with :

    Egg- 1, Salt- ½tsp, Pepper- ½tsp, All purpose flour- 2tbsp, Crnflour- 2tbsp, Orange color- a pinch

    For the sauce:

    Oil- 4tbsp, Chili powder- 1tsp, Garlic- crushed- 1tbsp, Spring onions- 2, finely chopped, separate the whites and greens

    Chicken stock- ¾ cup

    Tomato ketchup- 3tbsp, Vinegar- 1tsp,

    Sugar- a pinch, Salt- ½ tsp, Pepper- ½tsp

    2 tablespoon Cornflour mixed in ¼cup of water

    Method:

    Marinate the chicken pieces and keep aside for 30 minutes.

    Heat oil in a wok and deep fry the chicken pieces for 3 mins on medium heat. This will make the chicken retain its juiciness. If overcooked, the chicken will turn hard. Drain and keep aside.

    In a frying pan, heat little oil. Add chili powder, crushed garlic and white of spring onions. Stir.

    Add chicken stock and boil.

    Add tomato ketchup, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Let it boil.

    Add the dissolved cornflour, stirring continuously till the sauce thickens.

    Add the fried chicken and green of spring onions. Mix well and cook for a minute.

    Serve hot.

    Chef says:Chinese food

    An important point to ponder when doing Chinese cooking is to have all the ingredients in place. Chop the veggies prior and keep the others ready to use. Only then start the cooking.

    Chinese cooking is quick and is done in high flame.

      This reminds me a lot of sweet and sour pork, only with chicken. It's important to serve this immediately because you want to enjoy the crispy coating on the meat. You can probably imagine that the sauce starts to soften the crispy coating very quickly. Well done on making this. I am Chinese and have never made anything like this before.
