【酸甜鸡块】Sweet and sour Chicken

孩子回马来西亚经常吃不惯餐厅里的炒菜，尤其是带着骨头和皮的肉类料理，他压根就不敢尝试。据说这是外国出生的孩子的通病。

每次和家人出去餐厅吃饭的时候只有古老肉是唯一一个能入他法眼的菜。回美后他偶尔还会让我给他做，我也经常为了方便，用鸡腿肉做这款酸甜鸡块，也非常美味好吃呢！

Whenever my son visited Malaysia, he struggles to enjoy most of the dishes in restaurants, especially dishes with bones and skin cooked in it. 

 

The only dish that he could enjoyed was the good old sweet and sour pork/Gu lou Yuk. He liked it so much that even after returning to the United States, he still asks for it at times.

I have made the dish using chicken thighs many times, and personally think it is juicier and equally delicious!
