Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sweet and Sour Chicken Stir Fry.
Step 1
Begin by warming vegetable oil in a spacious skillet over medium-high heat, creating the perfect base for your dish.
Step 2
Once the oil shimmers, introduce the cubed chicken, stirring frequently until it achieves a golden-brown hue and is fully cooked.
Step 3
Next, add in the vibrant carrot strips, green and red bell peppers, along with minced garlic.
Step 4
Stir-fry these colorful vegetables for 1 to 2 minutes, allowing them to soften just enough to retain their crunch.
Step 5
In a separate small bowl, blend low sodium soy sauce with cornstarch until smooth, then pour this mixture into the skillet, enveloping the chicken and veggies in a savory glaze.
Step 6
Now, itβs time to elevate the flavor: toss in the juicy pineapple chunks with their juice, a splash of vinegar, brown sugar, and a hint of ground ginger.
Step 7
Stir everything together, ensuring each ingredient is well incorporated.
Step 8
Bring the medley to a vigorous boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to a luscious consistency.
Step 9
Enjoy the delightful fusion of flavors that will transport your taste buds to a tropical paradise.
