In keeping with the theme of Thermomix opening the door to otherwise inaccessible culinary delights, we have devised a Sweet and Sour Chicken recipe that outperforms any takeout or tv dinner. Those are some high expectations, but this recipe is a real winner when you want something indulgent but don't want the questionable ingredients and additives. This not-too-sweet and tangy recipe really straddles healthy, home cooked meals and ultra-flavorful takeout. The secret ingredients are pineapple and apple cider vinegar, which will make your tastebuds dance with delight. Dig in!
