Take Out Style Sweet N Sour Chicken

I want to share a fun hot meal today. It is a very sweet and rich meat dish. The name is take out style sweet n sour chicken. I love to make this warm food in my own home. It makes my whole house smell like a sweet hot food shop. I will tell you exactly how I make it. I will tell you my sad past fails too.

A Need For Fast Hot Food

It was a long hard day last week. I sat at my home desk for many long hours. I write food words for my own blog all day. My tired hands felt very sore and stiff. The clock struck six in the dark night. I had a big crave for hot fresh food. I wanted a hot sweet meat dish.

But I did not want to order out. Food in a box gets cold too fast. The crust gets wet and sad in the box. I wanted a fresh crisp bite. I walked to my clean kitchen. I knew just what to make. I would make a fast hot sweet pie. It is a very smart way to end a long hard work day.

My Big Past Kitchen Fail

I try new home foods all the time. But I fail a whole lot too. I must tell you the clear truth. My first time doing this went so very wrong. I was in a big rush that dark night. I made the wet hot sauce too fast. I poured too much sour juice in the hot black pan.

The red sauce did not get thick or sweet at all. It stayed thin like hot wet soup. I put the crisp hot meat in the thin wet soup. The crisp crust fell right off the soft hot meat. It was so bad and sour to taste. I broke my small white plate. I had to throw it all in the dark trash bin. I felt so mad at myself. Good fresh food costs hard cash. I learned a huge rule that sad day. You must cook the thick red sauce slow. Do not rush the sweet hot red glaze.

The Simple Tools You Need

You do not need big fancy chef tools for this. You just need basic plain home things. I keep my kitchen tools very simple and clean. Too many tools make me feel stressed out. A big wet mess makes me feel bad. Here is what I use to make this hot meat dish.

My Tool Chart

The Fresh Food Parts You Need

Let us talk about the sweet fresh food. Good pure food needs good raw parts. I buy all this at my local food shop. It does not cost a ton of cash. This makes me smile a big warm smile. I will break it down for you right now.

The Raw White Meat

You need pure raw white chicken meat. I buy the soft white breast part. You can use the dark thigh meat too. Both types taste very good. You must cut the raw soft meat into small neat square parts.

The Dry Crisp Crust

You need dry white starch. I use clear pure corn starch. It makes the hot crust very loud and crisp. You need one whole raw egg. You need a big pinch of fine white salt. You need a splash of cold tap water.

The Sweet Red Sauce

You need a few plain wet things for the hot sauce. You need sweet red tomato paste. You need sour clear rice juice. You need pure white sweet sugar. You need dark salt liquid. You need a small splash of cold tap water.

How To Prep The Raw Meat

We will prep the raw food first. This is a very key step to do. Take your big raw white meat out. Put it on a clean wood board. Pat the wet meat dry with a clean paper cloth. The soft meat must be very dry.

Take your sharp steel knife. Cut the soft white meat into small bite size chunks. Try to make them all the same exact size. If they are the same size, they cook the exact same way. Put all the cut raw meat in your big clear glass bowl.

How To Make The Crisp Crust

Now we will coat the raw wet meat. This is a very fun step to do. Crack the whole raw egg in the big glass bowl. Add the fine white salt. Use your bare clean hands to toss the wet meat. Make sure the wet egg coats every single piece.

Now dump the dry white starch in the wet bowl. Toss the wet meat in the dry white dust. The dry dust will stick to the wet egg glue. It will make a thick white coat on the raw meat. Wash your sticky bare hands very well now.

The Best Way To Cook The Meat

Now we will cook the raw white meat. Put your big black pan on the hot stove. Turn the heat switch up very high. Pour a deep pool of dark oil in the hot pan. Let the dark oil get very hot.

Use your long metal food tongs. Drop the white coated meat in the hot oil. You will hear a loud happy hiss sound. Let them fry in the hot oil for five short minutes. They will turn a dark golden brown tint. Use the metal tongs to pull the hot crisp meat out. Put the hot meat on a dry paper cloth to rest.

How To Make The Red Sauce

While the crisp meat rests, we make the hot red sauce. This is my top fun step to do. Put a small deep pot on the hot stove. Pour the sweet red tomato paste in the hot pot. Add the sour clear rice juice.

Add the pure white sweet sugar. Add the dark salt liquid. Take your long wood spoon. Stir it all up very well. Let it bubble soft and low on the hot stove. The red sauce will get very thick and rich. The sweet white sugar will melt deep into the sour fruit paste.

Add The Fresh Green Plant

I like to add fresh green plants to my hot meat dish. It makes the warm food look very bright and nice. I buy a crisp green bell plant. I wash the green skin very well.

I cut the green plant into small neat square bits. I drop the raw green bits right in the hot red pot. They cook fast in the hot wet red syrup. They keep a loud hard crunch sound. The dark green color looks great next to the bright red sauce. It is a very cool smart food trick.

The Sweet Yellow Fruit

This is a very top secret food trick. You must add sweet yellow fruit to the hot red sauce. I buy a tin can of sweet pine apple parts. I drain the wet thin juice out first in the deep sink.

I drop the thick yellow fruit chunks in the hot red pot. The hot red sauce coats the sweet yellow fruit. It tastes like pure warm sun and rich deep earth. It is the absolute best part of the whole hot meal. Do not skip this bright sweet step.

How To Mix It All Up

The hot red sauce is now thick and sweet. The crisp brown meat is done and safe. Now we must mix the two great parts.

Take the hot crisp meat from the dry paper cloth. Drop the crisp meat right into the hot red sauce pot. Use your long wood spoon to toss it all fast. Coat every single crisp brown piece with the thick wet red glaze. Do this very fast so the crisp crust does not get sad and soft. You want the deep sauce to just kiss the hard crust.

How Does It Taste?

Now comes the very best part of the long day. It is time to eat the great hot food. Put a big pile of the hot red meat on a clean white plate.

Take a small warm bite with a small metal fork. The raw white meat inside is now very soft and wet. The thick red sauce is very sweet and very sour. It is a perfect bite of hot fresh food. It makes my tired mouth very happy. The bold warm flavors dance right on my bare tongue.

The Loud Crisp Crunch Sound

I love the loud sound this hot food makes. When you bite the crisp brown part, it pops loud. It makes a loud snap sound in your warm head.

The dry white starch keeps the crust very hard and thick. The wet red sauce sits right on top of the hard shell. It does not sink deep in and ruin the loud crunch. A loud fresh bite is the best kind of pure food joy. Soft silent food makes me feel very sad. I want my fresh hot foods to crunch hard.

What To Eat With It

You can eat this hot red dish all on its own. It is a great big meal for a tired day. But I like to add a warm soft side dish. I love to eat it with soft hot white rice.

I boil plain white rice in a deep wet pot. The hot soft rice soaks up all the extra sweet red sauce. The plain white rice cuts the strong sweet taste down a bit. It is a grand food match. You can also boil long thin wheat noodles. Hot soft noodles taste so good with the thick red wet sauce.

How To Save Left Food

I live alone right now. This simple recipe makes a whole lot of hot sweet food. I always have a big clear bowl of wet red bits left over. I save them for my lunch the very next day.

I put the cold red meat in a clear glass box. I put a tight snap lid on the clear box. I keep it deep in the cold dark fridge. It will stay very good for three whole days. It makes my fast work lunch taste so fresh and nice.

Warm It Up Next Day

The next day, I want my fast lunch hot again. Do not use the fast microwave box. The microwave box will turn the crisp crust to sad wet mush. The thick sweet red sauce will burn very fast.

You must use a hot black pan to warm it. I put a small black pan on the hot stove. I put the cold red meat in the dry hot pan. I toss it fast for three short minutes. The dark crust gets crisp all over again. It tastes just as good on day two.

Why I Do Not Buy The Box Food

I want to tell you why I make this all by hand. You can buy take out style sweet n sour chicken in a wet box at the shop. I do not like to do that at all.

The shop food has a weird fake taste. It smells like sour old metal to my nose. The crust is always very wet and sad. It never has that loud crisp crunch in the warm mouth. Making it fresh takes just thirty short minutes of arm work. It tastes one hundred times better. It is much better for your strong body too.

Add A Hot Spicy Kick

I like my hot side dish sweet and sour. But you can change the hot taste up if you want. It is your own home clean kitchen. You can make it how you like it best.

You can add hot red spice dust to the wet red sauce. You can chop up fresh hot red peppers. The hot sharp spice cuts the thick sweet sugar right down. It makes your warm tongue tingle and jump. Mix the bold fun tastes up. Make it a fun new bite for your own mouth.

Fun Mix Ins To Try

Once you learn how to make this hot meat dish, you can play a lot. It is a very fun base to build on. You can add sliced brown plants. You can add fresh white onion chunks.

The fresh raw plants will cook soft in the hot red wet sauce. They add a deep rich earth taste to the sweet fruit sauce. You can use raw white pork meat if you do not like white bird meat. The food rules are all the exact same. Just use the dry white starch trick on the new raw meat.

A Sweet Treat For Kids

This is the absolute best fun food for young kids to eat. Kids love to eat small round fun shapes. They love wet red sweet sauce. They go wild for the sticky sweet yellow fruit parts.

When they eat the loud crisp meat, they will smile huge. It is a smart way to get them to eat a good hot meal. You do not even have to ask them twice. They will clean the whole white plate very fast. It brings pure calm joy to the loud busy house.

How To Clean The Wet Mess

I need to talk about the sad clean up phase. No one likes to wash dirty sticky home dishes. The black pan can get a bit gross. The sweet hot sauce leaves a sticky film on the hard metal sides.

I have a great neat trick for this sad chore. I do not scrub it hard at all. I put the dirty black pan back on the hot stove. I pour one full cup of tap water right in it. I let the clear water boil hot and fast. The hot boiling water melts the burnt sugar right off fast. I wipe the bare iron clean in one fast pass. It is so easy to do.

Why Cooking Helps My Mind

Let me tell you why I cook this fun meal so much. My fast life gets very loud and stressed. I type long food words till my eyes hurt tight. I sit in a soft desk chair for long dull hours. I feel very slow and sad by the end of the long day.

Doing this simple home chore slows my fast brain down. I have to stand up tall in my room. I have to use my two bare hands to cut the soft white meat. It is a good fast therapy for me. When I hear the loud crisp crunch, I feel pure pride. I made a good hot thing from plain raw parts. It is a quick sweet win for a tired mind.

A Good Drink To Have

I love to drink a cool glass with this hot rich meal. It rounds out the whole nice fun dinner scene. I think a cold glass of tart sweet juice pairs the absolute best.

I pour a tall glass of cold clear lemon juice. I take a big bite of the warm sweet red meat. Then I take a sip of the cold tart bright lemon juice. It is a great food match. It cleans my warm mouth right up fast. It washes the sweet heavy sugar right down.
