I love Chinese food and so do my hubby and daughter. This Chinese chicken Manchurian recipe is one that I make very often at home. I like to pair it with a chicken hakka noodle or fried rice, some soy sauce and chilli in vinegar and my lip-smacking meal is ready.

Ingredients

250 gms boneless chicken ( cut into bite size pieces)

2 stalks green onions (chopped fine)

1 stalk of celery (chopped fine)

1 bell pepper (cut into cubes)

1 onions (sliced)

4 tbsp ketchup

1 tsp vinegar

1 tsp sugar

Salt to taste

½ tsp pepper

2 tbsp cornstarch

3-4 tbsp of all purpose flour

2 tbsp chopped garlic

cooking oil

How to make Chicken Manchurian

Marinate the chicken in all purpose flour, cornflour, salt and a pinch of pepper. Deep fry the chicken pieces and keep aside.

For the gravy:
Take a pan and add 2 tbsp of oil to it. Add the chopped garlic, onions, bell pepper , green onions and stir for a minute or two. Add the celery and stir. Add in the soy sauce, ketchup, sugar, salt and stir. Add the chicken stock and bring to boil. Adjust the seasoning. Add the fried chicken pieces and boil for a minute.
