The vinegar also helps combat fatigue.Coating the chicken lightly in katakuriko helps to thicken the sauce. Bring the stew to a boil after adding the seasoning ingredients in Step 9, then reduce to low-medium heat. Recipe by abichi

Green bell peppers and eggplant were in season this summer and autumn in my garden!I added some chicken breast that was on sale for around 100 yen ($1) to make dinner!It looks like sweet and sour pork so I cooked it using a similar sauce. It'll taste better when cooled if you use just a small bit of sauce. It's delicious in bento, too!-It's nice even without doubanjiang spicy bean paste!-Substitute chili oil or ichimi togarashi (japanese red chilli pepper) for the doubanjiang spicy bean paste.-Adding extra bamboo shoot, carrot, onion and shiitake mushrooms would be perfect. Like sweet and sour pork!-Do not stir fry the bell peppers too long or they'll lose their crunchiness.-Reduce the sauce at the end so that ketchup and vinegar are less acidic. Recipe by moj

This is the original recipe from our family's various Youlinji recipes!I followed "Salted chicken style prep method"to make the chicken breasts tender.I used to dust chicken breasts with katakuriko and deep-fry right away, but coating the chicken well with the katakuriko seems to reduce the amount of katakuriko dropping into the oil. Recipe by Hokkori-no

So crispy, sweet and tangy that you'll enjoy every time you make it

I saw some ground chicken breast on sale! Chicken has a pretty light flavor to it, so when I decided to change half of the meat to pork, I ended up with especially tasty meatballs!This meaty and hearty dish lets you enjoy the taste of chicken without the greasiness of an all-pork recipe.If you like your meatballs chock-full of meat, reduce the amount of onions.If your onion seems to be on the watery side, make sure to squeeze the moisture out after chopping.After pouring the sauce onto the meatballs, simmer well to get rid of the acidity from the ketchup and vinegar.These are also good without doubanjiang!

This is delicious in a different way from the sweet vinegar-based sauce in.This makes a lot of sweet vinegar sauce, so you could double the amount of meat!! Recipe by Hekisora
