Easy Sweet and Sour Chicken Recipe with Ramen Noodles | Season Best Inspired

[kewaters]

Does anyone have a recipe for Sweet and Sour Chicken? I know it's in an older Season Best, and might have a slightly different name. I'm pretty sure you use ramen noodles, pineapple chunks, chicken and sweet and sour sauce. I'm at work and don't have the recipe to look over before dinner. Thanks in advance!

I'm on CC looking right now and so far with pineapple this is what I've found, but it's pork not chicken and no ramen noodles..

Sweet & Sour Pork & Pineapple Stir-Fry
Recipe


1 lb (450 g) pork tenderloin
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
2 tbsp (30 mL) plus 1 tsp (5 mL) cornstarch, divided
2 cups (500 mL) fresh sugar snap peas (about 7 oz/212 g)
1 medium pineapple
3 tbsp (45 mL) soy sauce
2 tbsp (30 mL) rice vinegar
1/3 cup (75 mL) apricot preserves
1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
1 medium red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick (1-cm) wedges (optional)
3 cups (750 mL) hot cooked rice (optional)



On Cutting Board, trim fat and silver skin from pork tenderloin using Boning Knife. Slice pork lengthwise into four strips. Thinly slice strips crosswise. Combine pork, salt and 2 tbsp (30 mL) of the cornstarch in Classic Batter Bowl; set aside.


On Large Grooved Cutting Board, cut peas in half crosswise using Utility Knife. Slice top and bottom off of pineapple using Santoku Knife, creating a flat base. Stand pineapple upright; use Pineapple Wedger to core and peel. Set aside half of the pineapple for another use. Slice remaining pineapple flesh lengthwise into four strips. Cut strips crosswise into 1/4-in. (6-mm) pieces. For sauce, combine soy sauce, vinegar and remaining cornstarch in Small Batter Bowl; whisk well. Add preserves and whisk well; set aside.


Add oil to (12-in./30-cm) Skillet; heat over medium-high heat 1-3 minutes or until shimmering. Place pork into Skillet in a single layer and cook undisturbed 4-6 minutes or until browned on one side. Turn pork over using Sauté Tongs and cook an additional 1-2 minutes. Add onion, if desired. Cook 30-60 seconds or until onion begins to brown. Reduce heat to medium; add peas, pineapple and sauce. Cook 1-2 minutes or until sauce is thickened, stirring constantly. Serve with stir-fry rice, if desired.

Cook's Tip: If desired, this stir-fry can be served over hot cooked rice noodles that have been drained and tossed with a small amount of sesame oil and julienne-cut carrots.

I just came across this post...I also am looking for this very old sweet and sour chicken recipe. My father, who is 86, has been making this recipe for years. It is one of his favorites. Unfortunately we cannot find his cookbook. I know it is a pampered chef recipe and the ingredients include chicken, pineapple, red pepper, and instant Raman noodle package. Please help...I would love to be able to give this recipe to my father. I am thinking the cookbook must adage back to the 1990s...or maybe early 2000s. Thanks!!!!
