Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh chicken, vegetables, and fruits will give your dish the best flavor.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
  • Use a light touch with the cornstarch: Too much cornstarch will make the sauce too thick and gloopy.
  • Cook the chicken in batches: Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Add the vegetables and pineapple at the end: This will prevent them from overcooking and becoming mushy.
  • Serve immediately: Sweet and sour chicken is best served immediately after it is cooked.
