Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research.

Korean Sweet n Sour Chicken requires roughly 30 minutes from start to finish. One serving contains 604 calories, 56g of protein, and 22g of fat. This recipe serves 4 and costs $2.71 per serving. A mixture of sugar, soy sauce, cider vinegar, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so flavorful. This recipe from Foodista has 2 fans. This recipe is typical of Chinese cuisine. It works well as a main course. It is a good option if you're following a dairy free diet. With a spoonacular score of 78%, this dish is pretty good. Similar recipes are Korean Sweet n Sour Chicken, Korean Cabbage Wraps with Sweet-and-Sour Cucumber Salad, and Grilled Korean BBQ Short Rib Dogs with Sweet Peach Relish + Spicy Korean Slaw.

Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Chenin Blanc are my top picks for Sweet and Sour Chicken. The best wine for Asian food depends on the cuisine and dish - of course - but these acidic whites pair with a number of traditional meals, spicy or not. The Pro-Bono Riesling with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.

Pro-Bono Riesling

Crisp entry with a balanced body; rounded with a brilliant acidity.

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken into thin strips, about 1 or 2-inch pieces. Add soy sauce to the chicken for a short marination; mix well and set aside.
  2. Cut the vegetables into large bite-sized pieces. Set aside until the sauce is ready and thickened.
  3. Make batter by mixing the flour, cornstarch, water and beaten egg. Add more flour until a thick consistency is reached. Dip the marinated chicken strips into the batter.
  4. Bring vegetable oil to medium high heat. Deep fry each of the strips for about 3, 4 min for each batch or until browned and cooked through. When finished, place on paper towel-lined dish to remove excess oil. Once the first round of frying is done, heat the oil and re-fry the batch for the 2nd time to make it really crispy (optional).
  5. To make the sauce bring the following ingredients in a saucepan: one cup of water along 3 tbsp vinegar, 3 tbsp sugar, and 2 tbsp of soy sauce. Bring to a rapid boil and then add the mixture of cornstarch and water. Add desired vegetables and let simmer for about 5 minutes or until it thickens.
  6. On a large plate, add the fried chicken strips, then pour over the sauce/vegetable mixture and serve while warm.
