When we had our first Chinese restaurant come to our tiny little town back when I was in elementary school, I instantly thought that I wasn’t going to like it. I never really understood why I would think that until I was much older… it was because my mom didn’t like it. I pretty much believed for most of my childhood that if she didn’t like something then I wasn’t going to care for it either. By the time I was a teenager though, I was going out to eat with friends, and they always wanted to go to that restaurant.
Finally, one day I gave in and went with them. I asked them what someone who doesn’t like Chinese food should get, and they told me that the sweet and sour chicken was one of the menu items that you couldn’t go wrong with. They were right! That stuff was amazing. This recipe from Julie’s Eats & Treats reminds me a lot of the yummy dish.
After I found this and discovered I could recreate the taste in my own kitchen so many years later, it made me miss home a little bit less, at least for that day anyways.
