Put them in the frying pan to fry well on all sides.	Turn them several times until they turn golden brown. When we have fried them all, remove them to a plate and set them aside for a while.
Now in the same pan add the chopped vegetables, melted garlic and ginger. Mix well.	Add the ketchup, balsamic vinegar and apple cider vinegar. Mix and let them fry for a few minutes.	Also add the fried chicken pieces.
Season with salt and pepper and mix very well.	We empty the jars with the prepared Sweet and Sour Sauce and mix very well.

Serve the boiled rice in deep bowls with the chicken pieces bathed in the sweet sauce and sprinkled with the roasted rice. Enjoy!
