Speedy Sweet and Sour Chicken

with cashew and coriander topped jasmine rice

More than just a type of sauce, the term sweet and sour actually refers to a popular cooking method particularly prominent in East and Southeast Asia. Like traditional sweet and sour dishes from these regions, the sauce that coats the chicken and veg in this recipe is slightly sweet with just the right amount of tanginess.
