Here's the recipe for today - a scrumptious meal - Sweet and Sour Chicken which is good for 4 serving .
Preparation - 20 minutes; Cooking
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- salt and ground black pepper
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cubed

Here's how to cook it:
- Mix together the egg yolks, with a tbsp of water, the cornstarch, and some salt and pepper.
- Heat 2 inches of oil in a wok or deep frying pan. Toss the chicken in the cornstarch mixture and deep-fry in batches for 5 minutes or until crisp and golden.
