Hello guys! Happy Wednesday!
It's a rainy day today. I thought about making a hot soup for dinner just perfect for this kind of weather.
I asked my kids what would they prefer for dinner. Uhm well, I guess my soup isn't that popular with them hahaha!
So yeah, instead of having soup today I'm going to make an easy Chicken bite with a sweet sauce as requested by my kids.
Chicken bite with a sweet sauce is also known as "General Tso" or for some, it could be called "Orange Chicken" depending on how you cook it.
Generally speaking, it is just a chicken with sauce on it.
Of course, I have to make fried rice to go with this dish...
If you've been here on my blog, I make a delicious Chili-Garlic Rice to die for!

Okay moving on...
## Chicken bite recipe:
- Chicken, chopped into small bites
- Salt and pepper (according to taste)
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour

Mix all ingredients in a big bowl and add a small water. Set aside for a few minutes, then you can start frying.

Fry for about 4-6 minutes depending on the size of your chicken bites.

When it's golden brown means you cooked it perfectly!
For the sauce I used:
- minced garlic
- chili-flakes
- 2tbsp of ketchup
- 1/4 cup of dark soy sauce
- brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of lemon juice
- set-aside cornstarch water (cornstarch dissolved in water)
The same thing, just mix everything in a hot pan. Just wait on the cornstarch water, you'll use it to thicken the sauce. Just add little by little until the sauce thickens.

You can cook your chicken with the sauce in a pan, but my kids prefer it separately. I think cooking it together gives the best flavor.
Yumminess!! That's all for now, thank you guys for reading. Catch ya later! Bye! -mama dork
P.S made a gif so you can see how my kids eat this dish hehe
