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.

The sauce from this is wonderful and can be doubled if desired, it can also be made ahead of time… this is a great recipe for pork chops. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 2 teaspoons cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water, then add to sauce.
This is one of my favourite noodle dishes. Marinating the beef makes it very tender. I use light soy sauce but the original recipe calls for dark soy which is slightly sweeter. You can use either or a combination of both. The rice noodles have a tendency to stick together but I find microwaving them for a minute or so and then separating them seems to do the trick. Also the wok needs to be really not when cooking them. I don’t deseed the chillies but you may prefer to.
