Sweet and Sour

Ingredients:

8 ounces pineapple chunks
2 green bell peppers, cut into 1 inch pieces
1/4 cup cornstarch
1-3/4 cup water
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup rice vinegar
2 packages vegan chicken
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
salt and white pepper, to taste
1 cup carbonated water

In a saucepan, combine most of the water, sugar, vinegar, pineapple juice, and food coloring. Boil then add cornstarch dissolved in remaining water. Turn off heat when thickened and set aside.

Combine flour, oil, starch, salt, and pepper. Add water until thick batter forms. Coat the vegan chicken with the batter. Fry the nuggets until golden. Drain on paper towels.

When ready to serve, layer green peppers, pineapple chunks, and soy chicken. Pour sweet and sour sauce on top.

Serve with rice.

* Can use tofu instead of vegan chicken.
