Directions
Sweet and Sour Chicken, Originally from the Sunset Chinese Cookbook. Much of the recipe is similar to Recipe #53595 except for proportions and a few different extra ingredients. The original Sunset recipe recommends using fresh pineapple rather than canned, and using the remaining pineapple half-shells for serving or as bowls. I did this the first time I made it and it was a really great presentation, but ever since I’ve just used canned pineapple and made big batches that are popular with the whole family (other than our vegetarian). I often make just a little extra of the sauce., Originally from the Sunset Chinese Cookbook.

Cut Chicken Breasts Into Thin Strips. Cut Onions, Ideally With One Cut Through the Equator Followed by Sectioning Each Onion Half Into 6 or 8 Wedges So You End Up With Lots of Nice Sized Onion Pieces to Hold the Sauce. Cut the Pepper Into Strips. Stir Together All the Sauce Ingredients (cornstarch, Sugar, Vinegar, Broth, Ketchup, Soy Sauce, Sherry, Ginger, Cilantro, Salt and Pepper). |
