SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN STIR FRY
This bright and colourful stir fry is made with a classic Sweet & Sour Sauce which is truly like what you get at good Chinese restaurants. This is not made by deep frying the chicken - it's tasty enough as it is without adding more calories!! Also see Baked version of the fried Sweet & Sour Chicken - recipe here. I know 1/2 cup of sugar sounds like a lot, but it works out at 1 1/2 tbsp per serving, which isn't too bad!

SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN
Instead of deep-frying chunks of chicken, this streamlined take on an American Chinese restaurant favorite opts for stir-frying it. Sweetness comes from pineapple chunks and juice, plus a touch of brown sugar, while rice wine vinegar delivers that pleasing sour punch.

- Place the chicken strips in a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon arrowroot and toss to coat. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, water, vinegar, brown sugar, remaining soy sauce and arrowroot. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a very large skillet over high heat. Add the chicken and toss quickly to coat. Continue tossing for 2-3 minutes as the chicken cooks very quickly. Add the peppers and the snap peas and continue stirring and tossing for 2 more minutes. Lower the heat slightly if necessary.
- Increase the heat to high again and add the pineapple chunks and the sauce. Cook, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes, until the sauce is thick and sticky. Taste the sauce and add the Sriracha a tablespoon or so at a time. Stirring well, between each addition. Serve over rice. Enjoy!

- In a medium bowl, mix together the soy sauce (1 tablespoon), garlic powder (1/2 teaspoon), kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon), and black pepper (1/4 teaspoon). Add the diced chicken to the bowl and toss to coat. Allow to marinate for at least 5 minutes.
- While the chicken is marinating, mix together all the ingredients for the sweet and sour sauce in a small bowl or glass measuring cup (1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 1/4 cup water, 1 teaspoon Sriracha, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder). This is also a good time to dice the pepper and onion, if you haven't already.
- Sprinkle the cornstarch (1/4 cup) on top of the chicken and toss to coat each piece evenly. Use a couple tablespoons more if there isn't enough to coat each piece.
- Heat the canola oil (1/4 cup) in a large skillet or wok (I prefer nonstick) over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and fry until crispy and fully cooked, flipping occasionally, about 5-8 minutes. Once fully cooked, remove to a plate.
