Sweet and sour chicken

I have been living on my own for 6 years now. I don't have a family yet. I am single and contented. As a single person, you have to learn things on your own. Like doing the laundry, cleaning your room and of course cooking.

When my mom was alive, she let me help here in the kitchen. So I have also learned from that. Today, since I have left over fried chicken, I decided to make a "Sweet and sour chicken".

It's a common recipe but just in case you didn't know, this might help. So let's start.

Ingredients:

For Fried Chicken

• 1 kilograms chicken parts cut in medium sizes

• 1 egg beaten

• 1 cup flour

• 1 cup cornstarch

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Cooking oil

For the Sweet and Sour sauce

• 1/3 cup sugar

• 1/4 cup vinegar

• 3 tablespoons of ketchup

• Salt and pepper to taste

Procedure:

1. Wash the chicken thoroughly.

2. Season with salt and pepper. Mix it with your clean hands.

3. Dip the chicken unto the beaten egg.

4. Mix the flour and cornstarch together.

5. Coat the chicken with the flour and cornstarch mixture. Coat it thoroughly and then set aside for 5 minutes.

6. In a pan, heat the cooking oil. Fry the chicken as usual.

Sweet and sour sauce

1. In a separate pan, mix together the sugar, vinegar and ketchup.

2. In a medium fire cook the sauce until the texture becomes thick.

3. Add a little water.

4. Add salt and pepper and simmer for 3 minutes.

5. Toss in the fried chicken and mix it together.

6. Garnish with onion chives. (Optional)

And now it's done. Serve it with hot rice! Enjoy!
