How to cook chicken in sweet and sour sauce in Thai style

The process of preparing poultry according to a Thai recipe cannot be called complicated. Cutting vegetables takes the longest. But let's figure it out step by step.

Step 1: Prepare the products

  • Cut the chicken into medium pieces approximately 2 x 2 centimeters.
  • Peel the bell pepper from seeds and cut into large strips.
  • Peel the carrots and cut into slices.
  • We also cut the fresh cucumber into circles or semicircles - as you like.
  • We cut the tomato into slices and remove the seeds from them, since excess moisture is not needed in this dish.
  • If your chili pepper is fresh, then cut off a small piece from it and chop it finely. If the chili is ground, skip this step.
  • Chop the onions, green onions and garlic coarsely.
  • If our pineapple is fresh, we peel it, remove the hard middle and cut it into large cubes. If canned, just cut into cubes.

Step 2: Prepare Thai sauce for chicken

  • In a bowl or deep plate, mix soy and oyster sauces.
  • Add vinegar, ketchup and sugar to them.
  • Mix everything thoroughly and set aside for now.

Step 3: Cooking Thai Chicken

  • Dip the chopped chicken fillet in flour and place in a frying pan heated with vegetable oil.
  • Fry the chicken for two to three minutes without stirring! This is an important point, since the peculiarity of this dish is that the chicken is fried differently on both sides.
  • Now quickly turn the chicken pieces over, fry them for literally 10-15 seconds and remove them from the pan onto a plate.
  • If your oil is not too burnt, you can continue cooking in it, or change it to fresh one. If we change the oil, we need to wait until it warms up; if not, we continue cooking.
  • The next step is to add garlic and chili peppers to the pan and fry them for 10-15 seconds.
  • Add pineapple, cucumber and carrots to the pan. Fry for about a minute, stirring constantly.
  • Add chicken, onions and bell peppers to the vegetables with spices, and then immediately pour in the pre-prepared sauce. Fry for another minute.
  • Add the tomatoes to the pan and, while they are frying (30 seconds), quickly mix cold water with potato starch in any container.
  • Immediately pour the starch-water mixture into the pan - it will give the finished dish a beautiful “glossy” look. Mix.
  • Add green onions, stir again and after a minute remove the dish from the pan.

Pickled bell peppers are a wonderful appetizer that is perfect for various porridges, as an addition to the main dish, for example, mashed or boiled potatoes, and can be served as a side dish for fish and meat dishes. Pieces of multi-colored vegetables in a sweet and sour marinade will be appropriate on both an everyday table and a festive one. To prepare a healthy, bright and tasty preparation for the winter, a minimum of time, ingredients and costs are required.

Classic bell pepper in sweet and sour marinade

For preparation you will need:

  • bell pepper - 5 kg;
  • water - 900 ml;
  • sunflower oil - 170 ml;
  • sugar - 350 g;
  • salt - 85 g (without slide 3 tbsp.);
  • table vinegar 9% - 300 ml;
  • honey - 3 tbsp. l.

Before pickling, bell peppers must be carefully inspected and whole vegetables, without spoiled areas, must be selected. If any defects are found, remove them. To give the appetizer a festive look and color, you can take multi-colored peppers.

Recipe:

  1. The pepper must be cut into 2-4 parts, remove the seeds, stem, membranes, and rinse well. You can cut vegetables into long bars, small cubes, medium-sized pieces, or you can leave large slices, where the whole vegetable is cut into 4-6 parts. It all depends on preferences and wishes.
  2. To prepare the marinade, you need to mix all the ingredients and boil. Then add the prepared pepper in portions and cook for 7-10 minutes until the pieces become soft. If household members like crispy preparations, then the cooking time can be reduced. You also need to remember that the cooking time depends on the vegetable itself and the size of the cut - large cubes, meaty and thick walls of pepper require increased cooking time.
  3. It is advisable to take jars with a volume of 0.5 liters (the consumption of pepper per container is approximately 800 g). They must be thoroughly washed and sterilized. Then place the peppers from the pan with the sweet and sour marinade into still hot jars. The pieces should be compacted well, add marinade until the container is full if necessary. Roll up the jars with lids, turn them upside down, wrap them in a warm blanket or towel and leave the jars until they cool completely.

This amount of ingredients will yield 7 jars of 0.5 liters of pickled bell pepper. A healthy and tasty preparation for the winter is ready!
