This recipe is not authentic Chinese in any way, but it has become a favorite Desi Chinese dish in the subcontinent. Each region has made it their own, and this version of Chicken Manchurian is what you find in Chinese restaurants across Pakistan. It is a delicious balance of sweet and sour, with tender chicken and crispy vegetables. Every time I make this I am transported to my favorite restaurant in Lahore, and I can hear the sizzling hot plate getting closer. The is Lahore on a plate.

Prepping your ingredients in advance makes the cooking process easier for every dish, but it holds true in Chinese cooking more than ever. marinate your chicken before you turn the stove on. Chop your vegetables and mix the sauce ingredients before you cook the chicken, and this will come together in less than 30 minutes. The only time consuming part of this Chicken Manchurian is pan frying the coated chicken in two batches so a nice golden crust forms. That crust soaks up all the delicious Manchurian sauce and makes every bite delicious.

The sauce is what gives this it’s quintessential sweet and sour flavor. I know ketchup may seem basic, but it helps make the sauce red. I use low sodium soy sauce because that lets me control the salt level in my food. Using low sodium sauces make a huge difference in the salt level, but they don’t change the flavor. This recipes makes a slightly thicker sauce. Add 1/4 cup water for a thinner consistency. I serve this with steamed basmati or jasmine rice.

Chinese Fried Rice With Chicken Manchurian Recipe By Areeba Khan

It's that classic Chicken Manchurian that made it's way to your table, sputtering and sizzling on the hot plate and ready to be devoured. This recipe is easy and has that nostalgic flavor that will take you back to your favorite Chinese restaurant in Lahore.

Make this less spicy. Classic Manchurian is sweet and sour, but I’ve added my own spicy twist. If you want this to be less spicy omit the green chili peppers and add half the amount of sambal oelek listed. 

Variations. My favorite combination of vegetables is onions, bell peppers and carrots. You can also add broccoli, water chestnuts or different colored bell peppers.

I found so many recipes online and got a bit confused but then I mixed and matched those and came up with a recipe of my own which turned out really delectable.

Jaan Broast & Biryani

 A dish from Indo-Chinese cuisine usually prepared by coating and frying chicken pieces with a seasoned batter. Simmered in spicy gravy afterwards and usually consumed with fried or steamed rice.

Various sources state that the dish came into being in 1975 by Nelson Wang – an Indian restaurateur of Chinese descent when one of his customers asked him to serve something different from what was in the menu.

Mix all the coating ingredients to make a smooth batter by adding a little water to get desired consistency (should not be too runny). Marinate chicken pieces in the batter for about half an hour.

Indian Chicken Fried Rice

 A chinese dish made from steamed rice, stir fried in a wok with ingredients such as veggies, egg and/or meat. While the exact origins are unknown, It is believed that the history of fried rice dates back to the Sui dynasty (589 – 618 AD), in the city of Yangzhou in eastern Jiangsu province. Quite historical, isn’t it!
