Cooking from a seasoning packet is not the same as cooking from a box, is it? Tonight I made Sweet and Sour Chicken from Sun.Bird.
What you need:
Sun.Bird Sweet and Sour packet
1 1/2 pounds chicken or pork cut into strips
1/4 and 1tbsp corn starch (seperated)
1/4 and 1 1/2 cup water (seperated)
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp oil
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
1 onion, cubed
2 carrots, diagonally sliced
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup atsup
1 can pinneapple chunks, drained
3 cups of cooked rice.
*Mix 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/4 cup of water, and soy sauce. And pork/chicken to mix and let soak for 5 minuets, coating chicken/pork with mix.
*Heat oil in pan. Add pork/chicken and stir-fry until browned, remove from pan.
*Stir-fry veggies, then add pork/chicken in with veggies.
*Mix seasoning, 1 tbsp cornstarch, sugar, catsup and 1 1/2 cups of water. Blend well. Ad to pork/chicken and veggies mixture and simmer for 5 min or until thickened.
*Add pineapple and heat.
*Serve over cooked rice.
I love sweet and sour chicken and pork. One of my favorite things to make. It is so good. And if I could figure out how to get pictures up on here I would...maybe next time. But really, its good. Give it a try.

Here's to cooking!
Several months ago I decided that I was not going to cook from a box again.
For the first year or so of our marriage all we ate was hamburger and tuna helper, mostly because I thought I couldn't cook. Someone I work with challenged me to not cook anything from a box for a week. I made it through the first week, and to my suprise actually liked cooking. For a while there were only a few recipes I would use but now I find myself looking for new and better recipes. I now almost look forward to cooking dinner every night, and for those nights I just don't feel like cooking my wonderful husband does it for me.
I was cooking Chicken Enchiladas tonight and decided I wanted to document my adventrues in the kitchen. I also hope to share the good, the bad and the ugly with everyone.
