SWEET AND SOUR PORK RECIPE - (4.8/5)

Sweet and Sour Pork Recipe - (4.8/5) image

Provided by vlacer

Number Of Ingredients 25

Ingredients

Marinate:
1/2 lb. pork tenderloin (cut into bite size pieces)
1/2 green bell pepper (about 2 oz. and cut into pieces)
1/2 red bell pepper (about 2 oz. and cut into pieces)
2 stalks scallions (only the white part, cut into 2 inch length)
1 piece fresh/canned pineapple ring (cut into small pieces)
1 clove garlic (finely chopped) Oil for frying.
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon corn flour
1/2 teaspoon rice wine
Frying Batter:
1/2 cup water 2 oz. all-purpose flour
1 oz. corn starch
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 egg
1 teaspoon cooking oil
1 small pinch of salt
Sweet and Sour Sauce:
1 1/2 tablespoons tomato ketchup
1 teaspoon plum sauce
1/8 teaspoon Chinese rice vinegar (transparent in color)
1/2 teaspoon Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon corn starch 1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

Cut the pork tenderloin into pieces and marinate with the ingredients for 15-20 minutes. Mix the sweet and sour sauce ingredients well and set aside. Strain the dry ingredients of the frying batter and then add in the egg, water, and cooking oil to form a thick batter. When the pork is well-marinated, transfer the pork pieces into the batter and make sure they are well coated. In a deep skillet, add in the cooking oil enough for deep-frying. Once the oil is hot, deep fry the pork pieces until they turn golden brown. Dish out and drain on paper towels. Heat up a wok and add in some cooking oil. Add in the chopped garlic and stir fry until light brown, then follow by the bell peppers and pineapple pieces. Stir fry until you smell the peppery aroma from the peppers and then add in the sweet and sour sauce. As soon as the sauce thickenens, transfer the pork into the wok and stir well with the sauce. Add in the chopped scallions, do a few quick stirs, dish out and serve hot with steamed white rice.

Tips:

To make the perfect sweet and sour sauce, use a combination of ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, and pineapple juice.
To give your pork a crispy coating, double-coat it in cornstarch and fry it in hot oil.
For a more authentic flavor, use Chinese rice vinegar instead of white vinegar.
If you don't have time to make your own sweet and sour sauce, you can use a store-bought brand. Just be sure to choose one that is not too sweet or sour.
Serve your sweet and sour pork over rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sour pork is a classic Chinese dish that is loved by people of all ages. It is a perfect combination of sweet, sour, and salty flavors. This recipe is easy to follow and makes a delicious and satisfying meal. Whether you are making it for a family dinner or a party, sweet and sour pork is sure to be a hit.
