I hate wasted food and try to only buy what we need.
Use frozen strips of chicken breasts, you can add them to this recipe straight from the freezer. Make sure they are well cooked through and piping hot. This recipe is a hit with the children as they love the sweet and sour flavours. Accompany this dish with broccoli and rice. You can also use leftover chicken in this recipe – see Cook Once Eat Twice Family Roast.
Serves 4
It is tasteless and heats to a high temperature so is a good all round oil.
Ideal for pan-frying, mayonnaise, dressings and marinades.
Try having in stock caster sugar, muscavado, honey and golden syrup
The two basic types of soy sauce used in chinese cooking are light and dark.
Concentrate made from paste type tomatoes that have high pectin content.
When they’re cooked down, they’re put through a strainer to remove skins and seeds, and reduced further until almost all of the moisture has evaporated. Usually a recipe will call for a tablespoon or two, just enough to enrich a beef stew, for instance, or to deepen the flavour of a sauce made with fresh tomatoes.
Worth keeping a few different types.
Perfect for salad dressings and italian dishes
Cut into strips before freezing for quick defrosting
Could be used for making instant chicken- base recipes like creamy herb chicken, spicy chicken burgers, sweet and sour chicken stir fry

I think that your programe is very good.And very helpfull to people that live on there own & busy mums too,
Sometimes its the simplest things that taste so great - more so perhaps because you've made them from scratch. After using ready-made sauces, this was a) cheaper, b) tastier and c) made me feel good for making the effort (even though it doesn't really take too much effort at all). Thanks for this :o)
Nice to see a recipe which is not loaded with garlic which seems to be a common failing these days. In my opinion garlic is only used to drown the natural flavour of fresh foods.
This recipe is quick and easy to make...just what you need at the end of a busy day!!!
Looks good! I'll try it.
I love this recipe because it tastes so nice. I would do this for a special occasion.
I came across your site a week ago, and have since tried 2 recipies. I am not a good cook and i dont enjoy it. Well now I do, i made chicken sweet and sour from your recipie, it was absolutely gorgeous. I normally buy it in a jar, never never never again. I can't wait to try more recipites, If i can do it , anybody can. Thank you for a great site, it's brilliant.
