Retro Canton Chicken Recipe ( 1986)

 Ingredients:

1/2 pound boneless chicken breast- cut into strips

2 tablespoons cornstarch

3 tablespoons soy sauce *

1 garlic clove- minced

1 tablespoon oil ( I used olive oil)

1 medium onion- sliced

3/4 cup water

1 package stir fry frozen veggies 

1/2 teaspoon each ginger, sugar and vinegar

Directions:

Place chicken in a bowl. Combine 1 tablespoon each of cornstarch and soy sauce; add garlic.

Pour over chicken, mixing to coat well and let stand 15 minutes.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet or wok.

Add chicken and stir fry over high heat for about 2 minutes, until golden brown. Remove chicken and place on a dish with a paper towel. Reserve for later.

Heat remaining oil in the same skillet, add onion and stir fry 2 minutes.

Add 1/4 cup of the water and vegetables to the skillet. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.

Combine remaining water, cornstarch and soy sauce; add ginger, sugar and vinegar.

Pour into pan, add chicken. Cook and stir until thickened- about 2 minutes.

Makes about 4 servings

This can be served over rice.

I  originally made this recipe on August 19th, 1986. The recipe was from an ad from either Kikkoman or Birds Eye. I cut it out and taped it in a cookbook I used a lot.

I am going to try to add the recipes I have taped in the cookbook to the blog.

I'll eventually will give the cookbook away.
