Easy Lunch : Grilled Chicken with Sweet & Sour ( and Spicy) Sauce.

Hi every one. Today I would like to show you my favourite menu when I was young which is sweet & sour sauce. Since I was a kid , I really loved having tomatoes and carrots, I can have those vegetables every meal. So my mum always cooked sweet & sour chicken for me. 

When I grow up, I wasn't so crazy for this recipe like before but I cooked this recipe quite often. Normally I cooked this recipe as Rob's lunch box because he likes sauce hehe.

Today I would like to make it in a little bit different way because the sauce that I cooked tastes a bit spicy. If you think this looks too spicy for you, just cut it off chilli from the recipe. So let's get started.

Ingredients ( for 2 persons)

1. 250 g chicken fillet

2. 1 carrot , roughly sliced

3. 1/2 onion, roughly sliced

4. 1/2 green bell pepper, roughly sliced

5. 1 chilli ( I use goat chilli because it's not so spicy) , sliced

6. 1 tomatoes, roughly diced

7. 3 tablespoons ketchup

8. 1 tablespoon oyster sauce

9. 1/2 tablespoon light soy sauce

10. 2 tablespoons brown sugar

11. 1/4 teaspoon chilli powder

12. 3 tablespoons water

13. 1 tablespoon cooking oil

14. Salt &  white pepper

Instructions

1. Add a little bit of salt and white pepper on chicken, then grill it by any method you want. Just make sure that the chicken's inner temperature reaches to 74 degree Celsius ( 165 F). 

2. Mix ketchup, oyster sauce, light soy sauce , brown sugar, chilli powder and water together, set aside.

3. On a frying pan, heat an oil with medium heat. Stir fry onion for a few minute. Add carrot and bell pepper then stir fry for couple minutes. 

4. Add tomatoes, chilli and the mixture in 2). Reduce a heat to a simmer for around 5 minutes. And yes it's done. 

5. Pour the sauce on top of the chicken. Served with rice. 

I know that the sauce that I showed you is not an old-style sweet and sour sauce because I modified the sauce recipe from Thai chicken wing with red sauce. But I can guarantee that this recipe is very yummy. Don't forget to tell me how about the taste when you try this at home.
