Sweet and sour pork

I am a big fan of our local mall's sweet and sour pork. Mainly because of the meat, which they keep separate from the sauce until you order. This guarantees crunchy, juicy meat every time. So of course, I do the same with mine.

Ingredient

Food ration :

4 servings

Cooking time :

15 minutes

2 tbsp

all-purpose flour

1 tbsp

+ 1/2 tsp cornstarch

500 g

pork shoulder, deboned and cubed

onion, chopped

3 cloves

garlic, finely chopped

thumb-sized nub ginger, finely chopped

green onions, chopped

green bell pepper

sweet bell pepper (red, orange or yellow)

1/2 cup

rice wine vinegar

4 tbsp

ketchup

4 tbsp

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

In a bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, a large pinch of salt and several grinds of black pepper. Add the pork and toss until coated thoroughly. Set aside for 15 minutes.

* Step 2

Add a good glug of veg oil to a large nonstick pan on high heat. Shake any excess coating off the pork cubes and fry them for 6 to 8 minutes until cooked, dark brown, and crunchy. Remove the cubes to a paper-towel lined plate, and give them a light sprinkle of salt.

* Step 3

Add the onion, garlic, ginger, and green onion to the pan. Let fry 1 minute, then add the bell peppers and fry another 2 minutes.

* Step 4

Turn the pan down to medium. Add the rice vinegar, ketchup, soy, chili sauce, and pineapple juice to the pan and bring to a simmer. Stir in the pineapple chunks. Make a slurry from the remaining cornstarch plus a few tbsp water. Stir the slurry into the sauce and simmer 1 to 2 minutes until thickened. Plate the pork and pour the sauce over, or serve the sauce on the side.
