Additions to Sweet and Sour Chicken?

[divine`]

Cooking someone Sweet and Sour Chicken for dinner tomorrow... cept they don't like eating veg.

What on earth else could I put in it to make it a bit more interesting that just chicken in a sauce?


Also, any interesting to spice up the rice a bit?



Or should I just say 'screw it' and cook a curry instead?

Curry shall suffice.

 

[jellybeard999]

sweet and sour sucks

Proper curry F T W ... something not too hot, with a lot of flavour

 

[pmbuzz]

Chicken Tikka Masala tbh

Korai = Best curry ever.

How about you punch the door instead.

I'd just stick the veg in tbh. If they don't like it, tell them to cook their own bloody food!

bit of beef bit of chicken

and as for the rice i usually cheat with one of these microwaveable uncle bens packs

Not even mushroom/potato/onion/pepper? I don't really like the main veggies but I'll still eat these.

Water chestnuts, some pineapple.
Prepare it how it's supposed to be, if they don't want it just give them bread and butter.

That was helpful, thanks.


Thanks to everyone else, I'll report back with what ends up happening

They don't like ANY veg at all?

Blimey...

Anway, I'd just put some veg in, onions, peppers, carrots etc.

If they really don't like any veg, try mushrooms, cashew nuts, water chestnuts or black beans. Maybe some beansprouts?

I would dice the chicken and coat with cornflour before frying in a wok (cantonese stylee). The sweet and sour can have sweet peppers onion and pinapple in it while cooking before it gets to the plate. Just don't put any on theirs.

The rice prepare about an hour in advance then put in the fridge to cool and dry a bit. When it's time throw a couple of eggs in a wok with a little oil then when almost cooked add the rice and stir fry. When the rice is up to heat sprinkle with some light soy sauce.

Chicken with blood poured over it?

Make it into an Omelette?

Pineapple works well in sweet and sour. If I make sweet and sour from scratch I normally make it out of a tin of pineapple chunks with the syrup, half a tin of chopped tomatoes and a little white vinegar to taste. Then add your pork or chicken and that's it, much healthier than out of a jar.

Don't forget the chilli.
