Sweet and Sour Chicken is a dish that originates from China or Tiongkok. In this dish, the chicken is fried before served with sweet and sour sauce. The sweet and sour sauce is a sauce that comes from Chinese cuisine made from water, tomato sauce, vinegar, salt, sugar, pepper, and flour as a thickener. The flour that used for thickening is generally sago flour. However, this recipe does not use flour, because there is already tomato sauce that can thicken the sweet and sour sauce. If you want to use flour to thicken the sauce that's fine too. Several things can affect the taste quality of this Sweet and Sour Chicken, the first is the type of ingredients, then the selection of fresh ingredients, and how to cook and serve it. This food can maintain health and balance the nutrients in our bodies. For this Sweet and Sour Chicken recipe, we will be using boneless chicken breast because it's easy to cut into small pieces. Before frying, the chicken breast pieces are marinated with several spices to add flavor to the chicken meat and must be covered with sago flour to make the surface of the chicken meat thicker. Tomato sauce and sugar are two ingredients that make the sauce taste sour and sweet, and can make the sauce thicken without using flour. In general, Sweet and Sour Chicken can be complemented with chopped carrots, red chilies, and warm rice.
