Singaporean Sweet & Sour Chicken


          This is a very popular side dish, apart from the chicken curry that is had all year around along with rice. It also goes well with any fried rice. It is the most favoured dish in all hawker centres across the country. 

          It is generally crispy fried chicken strips cooked with bell peppers in a sweet and sour sauce. Very easy and simple to make, it hardly takes any time to dish out this delicacy when time is a constraint. So check out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare it.

  • 2 cups, assorted Bell Peppers, diced

  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • 1 tbsp. spring onions (green portions), chopped


Marination -

  • salt to taste
  • 1 tsp. cornflour
  • 1/2 tsp. red chili flakes
