Chicken Manchurian

To be honest, I don't like cooking. I'm not a huge fan, I don't like to spend hours in the kitchen. It's not fun for me and I would much rather spend that time doing something else. Which is why this recipe is so great, it's super easy and quick and no one would guess that it only took you about 30 minutes to make.



1 cup oil

1 Chicken Breast
1 tablespoon Soy sauce
2 tablespoon Corn starch
1 Egg
1 teaspoon garlic paste


Sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic/ginger paste in oil and add green peppers
add half cup ketchup and 1 tablespoon vinegar
salt and pepper according to taste
1 teaspoon hot sauce
 ½ teaspoon sugar if a little sour
 less than 1/2 cup water

Directions

1. Cut chicken breast into bite sized pieces. Mix together, soy sauce, corn starch, egg and garlic paste   and marinate the chicken in it. (You can either let it marinate for a few hours or just 5 minutes - depending on how much time you have).

2. Heat oil in a pan and quickly fry the chicken, when done set aside.

3. For sauce, in same pan add garlic/ginger paste and green peppers. Quickly stir fry and then add ketchup, vinegar ,salt, pepper and hot sauce. Taste to see if it's to your liking, if it's a little too sour, add sugar (I usually add it regardless).  Mix together the sauce and add the chicken you had set aside. Add a little less than half a cup of water to finish it off, let it come to a boil and turn it off.

Voila, you're done. Serve it over white rice or fried rice and dinner's ready to go.
