Easy to cook fragrant sweet sour chicken dish. Goes well with steaming hot rice. Considered a quick stir fried aromatic dish.
The lemongrass aroma blends well with the sweet sour taste of tomato sauce.Visit this site for Its' Nutritional Facts [here] |

Hi Kimmy,
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of adding lemongrass in this tomato chicken dish. It must be extra fragrant with this addition :D
Btw, regarding your ji dan gao question... I'm surprised to hear that because my cakes didn't shrink much after baking and in fact, I find baking this recipe so much easier than baking ogura cake. How about baking yours slightly longer and see if they are more stable with lesser liquid content?

ReplyDeleteHi Kimmy,
ReplyDeleteJust realised that Jessie has a lot of troubles baking her ji dan guo and finally made it. This is her post, http://jessie-cookingmoments.blogspot.com.au/2014/05/the-very-chiffony-matcha-cocoa.html
Hope that it helps.

Hi Kimmy,
ReplyDeleteThis dish looks really mouth-watering! Perfect for dinner with rice! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Joyce, it is very appetising with rice - sweet sourish and aromatic.
ReplyDeleteHi Zoe, I'll try the Baked Ji Dan Gao again. Taste wise is good but texture not as soft and moist as Ogura. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteHi Kimmy, Love this home cooked chicken dish. So delicious with the lemon grass added. More rice please! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Ann, I love to prepare this kind of flavoursome dishes then I didn't have to cook other dishes. Just one meat and vegetable dish with rice makes a complete meal for the family.
ReplyDeleteHi Kimmy! I definitely will love this dish because of the lemongrass and sweet and sour taste.
ReplyDeleteHi Phong Hong, adding lemongrass is like adding another aroma to the dish.
