After my IDWTC Syndrome last week, I didn\u2019t want to get tired quickly with something that takes time, so I chose this recipe for chix with nice sechuan bite, that I found somewhere in the internet\u00a0\u00a0It seemed easy to make, and in the end I found out the whole meal took exactly 18 minutes!<\/p>\n

Actually I looked at this recipe for weeks, and was procrastinating 0_o cos it needs garlic. I know that with chinese recipes you have to be thorough with ingredients, cos you risk the food being awful, so garlic is important, BUT at the same time it is a GIANT NO in Cookies food menu, though funny shit is he will eat garlic bread without problem 0_o, wtf? He is a strange one.<\/p>\n

Then I decided I will add some garlic powder, and everything should be fine ;-). Plus he won\u2019t know if no one tells him \ud83d\ude09 right?<\/p>\n

The recipe is not complicated at all, and like all chinese food the end result was spectacular. I completely didn\u2019t know what to expect from it, but in the end I liked a lot! This features a nice contradiction of flavours, and textures. On one hand the spicy cayenne pepper that gives it a bite, then on the other the delicate texture of corn flour coated chicken, that gave nice juicyness to the meat, and in the end spicy-sweet onion mixed with soy sauce, and vinegar. I was nicely surprised how light the meal was. I served it with basmati rice spiced with soy sauce, and a little butter, and polish style cucumbers with sweetened yogurt.<\/p>\n

Ingredients for 2 servings:<\/p>\n

2 chicken breasts
\n1.5 tbsp corn flour
\n1 tbsp oil
\n1 tsp garlic powder (or 2 small garlic cloves)
\n3 tbsp light soy sauce
\n1 tbsp white wine vinegar
\n1 flat tsp fructose
\n4 tbsp water
\n1 red onion
\ncayenne pepper<\/p>\n

Preparations:
\nCut chicken into quite big pieces – 3-4cm. Sprinkle with corn flour, and garlic powder, make sure each piece is coated good. In the wok or just a skillet heat oil, add chicken, and fry until golden brown. While chicken is frying, pour to small bowl soy sauce, vinegar, fructose and water – mix thoroughly. When chicken is done, pour soy mixture, cover and cook for 3 min. Add onion cut into feather strips and cook everything for another 2-3 min.<\/p>\n

It can be served with soy noodles, soba or rice – I chose basmati rice, simply cos I have it in stock 0_o and since it\u2019s not rich with vegetables serve it with a side salad.<\/p>\n

Until next time, take care of yourself and each other 0_o<\/p>\n

P.S. Cookies liked it but he said: \u201cIT WASN\u2019T ENOUGH, WOMAN!!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
