Our noodle legend book arrived earlier than expected so we decided to have a feast! We made sweet and sour chicken, chicken chow mein, chicken balls and special fried rice!! It was the most delicious feast and did us proud!

I made this using leftover Char Sui pork and it was amazing, dead easy and really impressive.

Made sweet and sour chicken, such a good mid week meal. Added a carrot and some broccoli and it was amazing.

We have a tried and trusted recipe for Seeet and Sour Chicken but for some reason it doesn't work as well with pork. We therefore decided to try this one, substituting pork for chicken and it absolutely worked! Hooray!
