Sweet and sour chicken
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. I came up with this sweet and sour chicken recipe after being inspired by reading a book about Eastern cuisine. In the East, people love combining ingredients that, from our perspective, seem absolutely incompatible. Sweet and sour chicken is probably the most popular dish based precisely on such an unusual combination of flavors and aromas. Of course, I don't claim authenticity—the Asian chefs surely prepare it differently, using other spices and sauces. But at home, I cook sweet and sour chicken exactly this way, using simple, readily available ingredients. The result is delicious. I highly recommend it. The dish is ready to serve.
