Hello guys! Happy Wednesday!

It's a rainy day today. I thought about making a hot soup for dinner just perfect for this kind of weather.

I asked my kids what would they prefer for dinner. Uhm well, I guess my soup isn't that popular with them hahaha!

So yeah, instead of having soup today I'm going to make an easy Chicken bite with a sweet sauce as requested by my kids.

Chicken bite with a sweet sauce is also known as "General Tso" or for some, it could be called "Orange Chicken" depending on how you cook it.

Generally speaking, it is just a chicken with sauce on it.

Of course, I have to make fried rice to go with this dish...
If you've been here on my blog, I make a delicious Chili-Garlic Rice to die for!

You can check my blog on how to make Chili-Garlic Fried Rice here, just click the link: Chili-Garlic Rice Recipe

Okay moving on...

Chicken bite recipe:

  • Chicken, chopped into small bites
  • Salt and pepper (according to taste)
  • 1 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1 whole egg
  • 5 seasonings or whatever you have
  • garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 tbsp of baking powder

Mix all ingredients in a big bowl and add a small water. Set aside for a few minutes, then you can start frying.

Fry for about 4-6 minutes depending on the size of your chicken bites.

When it's golden brown means you cooked it perfectly!

For the sauce I used:

  • minced garlic
  • chili-flakes
  • 2tbsp of ketchup
  • 1/4 cup of dark soy sauce
  • brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup of lemon juice
  • set-aside cornstarch water (cornstarch dissolved in water)

The same thing, just mix everything in a hot pan. Just wait on the cornstarch water, you'll use it to thicken the sauce. Just add little by little until the sauce thickens.

The sauce should look like this. :)

It's time to eat..... :)

You can cook your chicken with the sauce in a pan, but my kids prefer it separately. I think cooking it together gives the best flavor.

Yumminess!! That's all for now, thank you guys for reading. Catch ya later! Bye! -mama dork

P.S made a gif so you can see how my kids eat this dish hehe
