Directions:
Chicken:
1. Combine all ingredients (except chicken) mixing well. Dry chicken with a paper towel and dip into batter. Place in non-stick skillet with hot oil until golden brown and cooked through.

2. Drain cooked chicken on paper towels and place in a warm oven until ready to serve.

3. In remaining oil add 2 bell peppers (I like red and yellow to add color) and 1 1/2 c. snap peas. Cook on med-high for 7-10 minutes.

Sweet and Sour Sauce:
1. Mix cornstarch with water and set aside
2. Combine remaining ingredients except scallion in saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and slowly whisk in cornstarch mixture. Simmer for 10 minutes.
3. Add scallions then pour over chicken and vegetables.

Serve over sticky rice. I use a 2 parts water 1 part rice ratio in my rice cooker.
