Cucumber and Chicken Sweet and Sour Stir-fry
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
Simply stir fry cucumber with inexpensive chicken tenders for an addictive and delicious dish with crunchy cucumber and tasty chicken.
The key is to finish it off at high heat once you add the sauce ingredients. It won't be thick to start with, but the katakuriko on the chicken will gradually dissolve to create a nice smooth sweet and sour sticky sauce. For 2 servings. Recipe by FarmersK

I was chosen as a cook tester for Mitsukan "Jukumi" vinegar, so I tried using it in my recipe which I've made since I lived by myself when I was younger!Since my husband doesn't like vinegar, I used to use a very mild vinegar called "Yasashii Osu". But I have noticed that "Jukumi" vinegar makes the dish more delicious since I started using it. Recipe by Erebon

Sweet and Sour Pork with Cabbage Stir-Fry
Usually, when we think of sweet and sour dishes, we think of sweet and sour ribs, fish, tofu, or chicken legs, but it's not common to use sweet and sour sauce for stir-fried vegetables. However, it's actually quite delicious!If you have kids at home, you can skip the chili.

Chicken breast and new harvest spring cabbage were both on sale, so I bought a ton!! I stir-fried them in a sweet-salty miso sauce to go well with rice.Season the chicken breast as described to prevent it from getting dry and stringy. I used 4 tablespoons of sake and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce this time, but adjust the amounts to the amount of chicken you are using!!!I think this should be delicious with new harvest sweet onion added to the spring cabbage.

Sweet and Sour Chicken

Sweet and Sour Chicken
Everyone who likes sweet and sour chicken should have their own recipe to make at home, and I mean "making the sauce yourself" level of at-home cooking. Because that bottled sweet and sour sauce? No thank you! I prefer to control the amounts of certain ingredients going into my dishes (like sugar and sodium).In actuality, a lot of your favorite "Chinese dishes" (you know, what you pile on your plate at the buffet or call to have delivered at 11pm lol) are a LOT simpler to make at home than you may realize.This is my version of the standard favorite.

Sweet and Savory Chicken Wing and Celery Stir-Fry
My children aren't too fond of chicken on the bone. I used vinegar, which tenderizes the meat so that it falls easily off the bone so that the umami of the chicken can be enjoyed.If you don't like raw celery leaves, add them to the pan right after you add the flavoring ingredients in step 7 and stir fry it together.Please adjust the amount of red chili peppers, or just leave them out as you prefer. For 2-4 servings. Recipe by caramel-cookie
