Instructions
- Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes and marinate them with 1 tablespoon of wine for 10 minutes. In a bowl, mix the batter, then add the chicken cubes to it. In a separate small bowl, mix the Sweet and Sour sauce and set aside.
- Heat cooking oil in a wok and deep-fry the chicken cubes, shaking off any excess batter before frying. Once golden brown, transfer the chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Discard the remaining cooking oil, leaving only 2 tablespoons in the wok.
- Add the garlic to the wok and sauté until light brown, then add the green bell peppers. Stir-fry until fragrant. Pour in the sweet and sour sauce and bring it to a boil.
- Toss in the chicken and tomatoes, then add the chopped scallions. Stir quickly, then dish out and serve immediately with steamed white rice.
