Sweet and Sour Chicken

2 chicken breasts
1 cup flour
Ginger powder (To taste, quantity unspecified)
Garlic powder " "


Cut chicken into bite sized pieces. With this recipe you can substitute pork or beef. Beat eggs and milk in a bowl until combined. Mix flour and seasoning on a plate. Jess told me how to maximize the breading. Flour the chicken pieces. Then dip in the egg mixture. Then reflour. Fry in 1/2 in. of oil. Put on a paper towel.

1 can of pineapple, and save 1/2 cup of the pineapple juice for the sauce
1 cup water
3 table spoons lemon juice
1 yellow onion
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
(the recipe did not specify, but add some soy sauce)
2 rounded tablespoons corn starch

Mix the above in a sauce pan. Add corn starch slurry (starch mixed with cold water). Stir and cook until thick. Add onions until caramelized. Add vegetables. We just used a random frozen stir fry vegetable mix. Source recipe describes bell peppers and carrots. Vegetables will thin the sauce a little. Once the vegetables are cooked add the pineapple and chicken.

Serve over rice.
