sour pork?
Try this one. nuke
Sweet and Sour Pork or Chicken
1 lb chicken breast or pork 2 egg yolks 2 Tbsp cornstarch 1
Tbsp soy sauce Oil for deep frying & stir frying Cornstarch
for dredging 6 Tbsp sugar 6 Tbsp water 4 Tbsp pineapple
juice 4 Tbsp white vinegar 4 Tbsp ketchup 1 Tbsp salt 1
clove garlic 1 medium onion 1 sweet green pepper 1 cup
pineapple chunks (more or less) 2 Tbsp water 1 Tbsp
cornstarch
Cut the meat into bite size pieces. Try to keep them about
the same size. Mix meat together with the egg yolk,
cornstarch and soy sauce. Cover and marinate in the
refrigerator for 15 minutes or more.
Heat the oil to 350-375 deg F. in a wok or deep fryer. Drain
moisture from meat and dredge thoroughly with cornstarch.
Make sure the pieces aren't stuck together. Deep fry in
batches until cooked through (about 3
1/2 - 4 minutes). Allow the oil to reheat between batches.
[At this point you can either finish the dish or store the
cooked meat in the refrigerator until needed.]
Combine the sugar, water, pineapple juice, vinegar, ketchup
and salt. Prep the garlic, onion and green pepper for stir-
frying. Stir-fry garlic, onion and green pepper in a wok [or
just use a big frying pan]. Add meat, pineapple chunks and
sauce. Mix and heat thoroughly. Increase heat until sauce is
boiling. Combine water and cornstarch, add to wok and stir
until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and serve
immediately.
