SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN
This recipe is dedicated to my dear friend Paco Herrero who asked me to make it for him. I scanned through a lof of recipes on the internet and then  came up with my own creation.
I dont want to show off but it is a real wonderful and easy recipe which tastes soo restaurant like.
I have forgotten to add in the video a comment for my halaal followers—PLEASE OMIT THE BRANDY
The extra sauce keeps for weeks in the refrigerator and also can be used as a dipping sauce for all your favorite chinese snacks.
You can make this recipe with fish, meat of your choice, prawns, tofu and vegetables , seitan , tofu , mock duck etc.
For an eggless recipe please omit the eggs and use sparking water for the batter.
