In this post this time i'll share with you Sweet and Sour Chicken Recipe, ingredients, and direction how to prepare Sweet and Sour Chicken dish, have a try and may you like it.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Sweet and sour chicken is a simple recipe that is friendly to most people regardless of your national origin and religion. The key to a great sweet and sour chicken is that you don’t want your chicken to soak and swim in the sweet and sour sauce like what most Chinese restaurants do. The sauce should lightly coat the fried chicken cubes so they don’t turn soggy. Another secret is  the use of baking soda in the frying batter, which does a great job in giving the battered fried chicken an extra crunch.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="color: #351c75;">Sweet and Sour Chicken Recipe</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></b></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibwBBndDDU5b8KUdJucA7eCJLHk-ncvYmbDcESBZGm4zF0qAPL1iY1vxKbXI-R4SnO5W73g_rItTIzU78sbOCa61tO-rDt7LrDplRdSmnXQs69T9aigRjl-NSbw72gQKZ_gvIwbS3p37Ja/s1600/sweet+and+sour+chicken+recipe.jpg" /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="color: #351c75;">Ingredients for sweet and sour chicken dish:</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 8 oz. boneless and skinless chicken breast (cut into bite-size cubes)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 1 tablespoon shaoxing wine (optional)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 1 green bell pepper (seeds removed and cut into squares)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 1 stalk scallion (cut into 2-inch lengths)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Oil for frying</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Batter:</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 4 tablespoons corn starch</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 1/2 cup water</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 1/2 teaspoon baking soda/baking powder</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Sweet and Sour Sauce:</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 3 tablespoons ketchup</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 3 tablespoons Lingham brand hot sauce/chili sauce</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 1 teaspoon plum sauce</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 1/2 teaspoon Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 1/4 teaspoon Chinese rice vinegar</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 1/2 teaspoon oyster sauce</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 3 tablespoons water</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 1/2 teaspoon corn starch</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 3 dashes white pepper powder</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 2 tablespoons oil</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="color: #351c75;">Directions how to prepare the dish:</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Cut the chicken breast meat into bite-size cubes and marinate with 1 tablespoon of wine for 10 minutes.

Kung Pao Chicken Recipe (宫保鸡丁)

Here are the recipe, ingredients, direction to prepare Kung Pao Chicken Dish.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Kung Pao is a cooking technique originated from the Sichuan province of China; the authentic Sichuan Kung Pao Chicken (宫保鸡丁) or Gong Bao Ji Ding calls for the staple Sichuan peppercorn for the numbing flavor, however, the version popular outside of Sichuan has since been adapted to many regional variations. For examples: in Malaysia, Kung Pao chicken is served without peanuts, but sometimes cashew nuts are used; in Thailand, fish sauce and sweet soy sauce are used to flavor a similar dish. However, the Kung Pao chicken we get in 90% of so-called Chinese restaurants in the United States is the heavily Americanized version that appears gooey, greasy, and sweet. You will also find all kinds of vegetables in the dish such as carrots, water chestnuts, celery, zucchini, and even broccoli.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The secret ingredient of Kung Pao chicken is vinegar in the sauce.

Chow Mein Recipe (Chinese Noodles)

<div style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="http://recipescuisine.blogspot.com/2013/09/chow-mein-recipe-chinese-noodles.html">Chow Mein Recipe</a> (Chinese Noodles Recipe). One of the most popular Chinese noodles is chow mein or literally “fried noodles” (炒面) in Cantonese dialect. Chow mein is also a favorite Chinese take-out item. Some shredded vegetables, some protein–either chicken, beef, seafood, or combination–and you will have a perfect chow mein that is cheap, filling, and sinfully gratifying. Yeah, that is the chow mein.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGU4RrMCkFiMzxhCjDxRTbYh-cKAHWrvKeMausGYpPGRjgQ7QqaT8TDqbj3Zc7FVxioEcmnfybAwnD7bZm_6PVGfRBAvqPnGWXBvDm10A1fhuP3vS8BKWd8n6cLsFLHdK5AdCUkThni3gj/s320/chow+mein+chinese+noodles+recipe.jpg" width="320" /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Making chow mein or any Chinese noodles at home doesn’t have to be complicated, if you know which noodles to buy (which according to many non-Asians, it’s the toughest part of it all). I have to say that the varieties of Chinese noodles available in the market are rather overwhelming; however, if you narrow down your selection, things would get a lot easier–and manageable. So, let’s start with chow mein, which is also the name used for fresh noodles.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> there are two kinds of chow mein sold at the market: 1) steamed chow mein, and 2) pan-fried chow mein. They are practically the same Chinese noodles, but the latter tends to be dryer and hence it’s for pan-fried purposes.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="color: #990000;">Chow Mein (Chinese Noodles) Recipe</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="color: #351c75;">Ingredients:</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 8 oz. steamed chow mein (Chinese noodles)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 2 oz. pork (cut into thin slices)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 5 shrimp (shelled and deveined)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 3 garlic cloves (finely chopped)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 1/2 cup shredded cabbage</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 1/4 cup shredded carrot</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 1 tablespoon soy sauce</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 1 tablespoon oyster sauce</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 1/2 teaspoon sugar</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 1/2 teaspoon Chinese dark soy sauce</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 2 tablespoons water</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 2 tablespoons cooking oil</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 2 stalks scallions (cut into 2-inch length)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Salt to taste</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="color: #351c75;">Direction or Method:</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Soak the steamed chow mein in cold water for about 5 minutes. Rinse a few times until the water turns clear and the chow mein is soft. Drain the excess water and set aside. (Don’t over soak the chow mein or the noodles will get limpy and soggy.)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> In a small mixing bowl, mix all the seasoning ingredients. Set aside.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Heat up the wok with the cooking oil. Add in the chopped garlic and stir-fry until light brown or aromatic. Add the pork and shrimp and stir fry until they are half done. Add the shredded cabbage and carrot into the wok and do a few quick stirs. Add the noodles , the seasoning mixture and the water. Continue to stir until the noodles are well blended with the seasonings and completely cooked through. Add the chopped scallions, do a few final stirs, dish out and and serve hot.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> That's it the recipe of chinese noodles chow mein, have a taste and try to make it at home, may you enjoy it, and may it to your like.</div>
