Инструкции
- (* Use juice from can of pineapple chunks you will add in later)
- You need a wok or possibly something wok-like... this looks long, but it really doesn't take which much time once everything is cut up... I am always surprised by how quickly it is finished. (there are never any leftovers...)
- First make the SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE:In a small sauce pan combine 1 c. pineapple juice, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and catsup. Stir over moderate heat to simmering. Dissolve cornstarch in 1/4 c. pineapple juice. Add in to sauce, let thicken till clear and set aside.
- ****This is a good time to start to make about 3 c. of white rice and keep it hot... (I always forget to do this!!!)****
- THE MEAT:Rinse and dry chicken chunks. Toss with cornstarch while oil heats. When oil is warm, fry a few at a time til nicely browned and crisp, drain and set aside on cookie sheet and keep hot in oven.
- When chicken is all cooked, throw away oil and carefully wipe wok with paper towel. Get the pan warm again and do the veggies.
- THE VEGGIES (can be done in advance):Put about a Tbsp. of oil in the warm wok and add in the veggies. Stir fry till nicely warm but still crunchy.
- THE WHOLE THINGADD: 1 c. canned (liquid removed) pineapple cut in 1 inch chunks to warm veggies.
- Add in the sweet and sour sauce to the just cooked veggies and pineapple. Stir til warm through.
- Add in the warmed crispie meat from the oven and make sure it's all nicely blended.
- Then yell: "quick! it's done!" Serve over rice. It's one of our fav's (from sons to grandsons!).
- * The thigh meat is almost better to use, the white meat is great and I usually use it but it dries so quickly with the deep frying. I always like it when I remember to use the dark meat.
