My family loves Sweet & Sour Chicken and we always eat it with freshly cooked Rice. So, today I made it into a rice bowl dish. If you have a bottle of Ponzu, you can use it replacing Soy Sauce and Vinegar. You may wish to add Chilli, Sriracha (Chilli Sauce), Toban Djan (Chilli Bean Sauce), OR etc. to make the Sauce spicy. You don’t have Garlic and Ginger? Do not give up. The sauce is tasty without Garlic and Ginger.
