This is another of my childhood favourite. Whenever i'm not feeling the appetite my mum always make this, and somehow the sweet and sour taste make your stomach open and be happy to continue to eat. I cook this when i was studying at university and even now, the ingredients are simple and could be prepared within 30mins. As time have gone on, i also combine another dish, scrambled egg in tomato sauce, where instead of just chicken, I also add the scramble egg in as well. I know its a bit greedy, but its good to make yourself happy when eating something yummy, especially something reminds me of home. :)
Ingredients:
1 Chicken Breast Fillet, sliced/diced (personal preference)
2 Eggs (optional)
2 Tomato, washed and quartered
1 clove of garlic, crushed
2 Spring Onion, finely chopped
2 Tbspn Tomato Ketchup
1Tbspn Veg Oil
1.5cup Chicken Stock/Boiling water
Marinade for chicken:
1/4tspn White Pepper
1/2tspn Sugar
1/2tspn Salt
1/2tspn Sesame oil
2tspn White wine
1tspn Light soy sauce
1tspn Veg oil
1.5tspn cornflour
Method:
1) In a bowl, place the sliced chicken and marinade it.
2)Then crack the eggs and whisk well. Then heat a non-stick pan over a high heat with a little oil and scramble the egg. Place it on a plate and leave aside for later.
3) Over a high heat, heat the wok with oil, fry the garlic, then using the chopstick put the chicken in without the mixture, and give it a good stir until lightly browned. Add the tomato, and give it a stir.
4) Add most of the stock, bring it to boil and then cover to let it simmer for approx 5mins.
5) Stir in the remaining marinade, stock, ketchup and let it further simmer until sauce thickens.
6) Add the scrambled egg and spring onions and let it simmer for another 2mins and ready to serve.
Happy Cooking!
