Difficulty level

Ingredients for Sweet and sour chicken Serves 2
Chicken fillet 400 g Onion 150 g Chicken eggs 2 pieces Tomato 200 g Oyster sauce 1.5 tablespoons
Ingredients: seasoning powder, pepper, cooking oil, sugar
Tools: bowls, spoons, pan, blender
Tips for choosing good chicken:
- Good chicken will have thin, smooth skin with a light yellow color. Choose chicken that looks fresh, has a pinkish-red color, and does not have a foul smell or antibiotic odor, with no bruises or blood clots on the skin.
- Avoid buying chicken breast with a lot of white tendons as this indicates the chicken has more fat and less protein, which significantly affects the quality of the meat, making it hard to absorb the sauce and more likely to spoil when cooked.
How to make Sweet and Sour Chicken
-
Prepare and marinate the chicken
Wash the chicken fillet thoroughly and put it in the blender to puree.
Peel and clean the onion, then chop it into small cubes. Separate 2 eggs and take the yolks.
Put the minced chicken in a large bowl, add 150g of the chopped onion, 2 egg yolks, and 10g of potato starch.
Season with 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper to taste. You can adjust the seasoning to suit your family’s taste.
Then, mix all the ingredients together, and use a spoon to beat the meat in one direction to create a chewy texture for the meat mixture.
Small tip: If you have time, you should marinate the meat for about 30 minutes for the meat to absorb the seasoning, making it tastier.
-
Prepare other ingredients
Tomatoes are cleaned, deseeded, and diced.
Green onions are cleaned and chopped.
-
Form the chicken meatballs
You put on gloves and shape the marinated chicken mixture into round balls.
Heat a pan on the stove, add about 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, turn the heat to low, wait until the oil is slightly hot, then gently drop the chicken balls in one by one to fry until golden brown on all sides.
Tip: When shaping the chicken, you can apply a little cooking oil on your hands to prevent sticking. When forming the balls, make them small and even, so the chicken will cook evenly. Fry the chicken on low heat to ensure it cooks through without burning or remaining raw inside!

Make sweet and sour chicken

Stir constantly over medium heat until the sauce thickens, then add the fried chicken balls, stir well, and simmer for another 2 minutes before turning off the heat, adding the chopped green onions for aroma.
