For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce during step 8. If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk together an additional tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and add it to the sauce during the last few minutes of simmering. Serve the Sweet and Sour Chicken hot over steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.
