Questions about Sweet and sour chicken or turkey
How do you stop sweet and sour chicken or turkey from going soggy?
Brown bite-sized pieces in a hot pan in a single layer, working in batches if needed. Add the sauce only at the end and toss briefly; for a crisp coating, keep the sauce separate until serving.
What vegetables go well in sweet and sour chicken or turkey?
Red or green pepper, onion, pineapple and chunks of courgette all work well. Stir-fry the firmer vegetables first, then add pineapple and the sauce near the end so they stay intact.
What should you serve with sweet and sour chicken or turkey?
Steamed rice is a classic choice, while egg-fried rice or noodles make a more substantial meal. Add a side of lightly cooked greens if you want something fresh alongside the sweet, tangy sauce.
How long does sweet and sour chicken or turkey keep in the fridge?
Refrigerate leftovers promptly in a covered container and eat within two days. Reheat until piping hot throughout, stirring once or twice so the sauce and meat heat evenly.
Can you freeze sweet and sour chicken or turkey?
Yes. Cool it promptly, freeze it in a sealed container and use it within three months for the best texture. Thaw in the fridge and reheat until piping hot; the vegetables may soften after freezing.
How do you know when the chicken or turkey is cooked through?
Cut into the largest piece or use a food thermometer: the centre should reach 75 °C, with no raw-looking meat. If cooking in the sauce, make sure the pieces are fully cooked before serving.
