Obviously, I love Chinese food. Between Hawaii and Hong Kong I am spoiled. This is a great recipe. Unfortunately, it’s a fair bit of work. If you take the time, I promise you a great feed. Please use this sweet and sour sauce and not some store bought stuff.

How to make it
- Sweet and Sour Sauce:
- 1. Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan.
- 2. Cook over medium heat until thick, stirring constantly. Set aside.
- This will last a long time in a sealed container in the fridge.

- 3. In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients except the cornstarch mixture, blend well and bring to a boil.
- 4. Add cornstarch mixture. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently until thickened. Be sure to bring your sauce to a boil before adding the cornstarch, or the sauce may have an unpleasant starchy taste.
- 5. Heat oil in a wok or Dutch oven to 350 F (175 C).
- 6. Remove pork pieces from marinade and roll in cornstarch to coat well.
- 7. Deep fry in hot oil until golden brown and crispy.
- 8. In a large sauté pan, heat 2 Tbs. oil on medium-high heat.

- 10. Let simmer for 2 minutes, arrange on serving platter and garnish with long strips of green onion and toasted sesame seeds.
- I did steamed rice, pickled veggies. A jug of baijiu (Chinese Saki) went well See Photo. Yes, I’m compulsive about having the right beverage for a recipe. Go with green tea if baijiu isn’t your thing. See Photo
