Sweet and Sour Chicken


Sweet and sour chicken

Ingredients
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons ground white pepper
1 egg white
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon crushed garlic
2 tablespoon grated ginger
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon orange marmalade( I didn't have so I added the pineapple juice)
1 (8-ounce) can sliced bamboo shoots, drained
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained

Directions

In a large bowl, mix the cornstarch, white pepper, and egg whites. Add the chicken and toss until well coated.

Heat a large nonstick wok until blazing hot. Coat the bottom of the pan with the canola oil. Add the chicken to the pan and move continuously to prevent chicken from sticking together. Saute for about 1 1/2 minutes. Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the wok and keep warm.

Over high heat, add to the wok the soy sauce, tomato paste, sesame oil, honey, garlic, ginger, vinegar, and marmalade. Lower heat and simmer for approximately 30 seconds to thicken. Add bamboo shoots and warm through.

Once sauce is thick and warm, whisk in the pineapple.

To serve, arrange chicken strips on a platter and pour the sauce over the chicken. (I mixed it all together and served)

Spring rolls

8 ounces cooked chicken, shredded
4 ounces ready mixed coleslaw, the bag kind
2 tablespoons of your favorite spicy Asian stir fry sauce
10 large (7") egg-roll wrappers
White & black sesame seeds
1 tablespoon peanut oil
Heat wok until almost smoking, then add oil. Add coleslaw and chicken, stir-fry about 30 seconds then add 2 tablespoons sauce. Mix though and remove from heat. Let cool slightly.
Place one wrapper on the counter, with a corner pointing at you. Put 1/10th of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
Fold the nearest corner of the wrapper up covering the filling. Fold in the two sides and finish by rolling away from you and moisten the very end with a dab of water to help stick. Continue with remaining wrappers.
Brush tops very lightly with oil, sprinkle with black and white sesame seeds and bake at 350 degrees F until lightly brown.
Serve with extra sauce for dipping.
Makes 10.
