Chinese Braised Chicken and Chestnuts

From one of my Chinese cookbooks. It’s in Chinese, so some measurements are a little general. It’s pretty simple, and what can be better than chicken and ginger on a cold day?

Sweet Sour Chicken

This is a good recipe to have on hand if you’re stuck in a cabin in the Northwoods, craving sweet sour chicken, and there’s not one Chinese take-out place within 50 miles. That’s about the only time I make this since it’s way too easy, when I’m home, to pick up the phone and order it from the place down the street! This is a Madame Wong recipe.

Ma Po Tofu

Replication of a favourite dish at a local restaurant – Pork can be substituted the Turkey if you prefer. My partner, who is not a Tofu fan, loves this dish.
