Sweet & Sour Chicken
Sweet and Sour Chicken is a classic dish in any Chinese restaurants and a popular takeout dish too. It is such an appetizing dish that appeals to everyone including kids. I love the combination of sweet, savory and tangy taste. Of course, you can always add some hot sauce for a spicy kick too.
1. In a pan, add the olive oil, onions and stir fry for a while until fragrant.
2. Add the chicken and stir fry over medium high heat until almost cooked.
3. Add the tomato puree, cubed tomatoes, water and cook for a while.
4. Add the vinegar, salt, sweetener and cook until the sauce is slightly thickened.
5. Add the paprika, cucumbers and cook until slightly tender and the sauce is thickened. As an option, you can add a bit of xanthan gum if you prefer a thicker sauce. Adjust taste accordingly.
6. Once ready, turn off the heat.
7. Serve with shirataki rice or cauliflower rice. You can also serve it with shirataki noodles. And you can even toast some keto bread and dunk into the sauce - so good!
8. Assemble the sweet and sour chicken around the plate and garnish with some cucumbers and cherry tomatoes (optional).
9. Top with a sunny side up egg (optional).
10. Sprinkle with chopped spring onions or parsley.
11. Serve warm.
