Sweet And Sour Pork Recipe

	55to64 / All my dishes 1 year, 3 months ago Common Chinese restaurant dish, but made at home, it's so much better! You can adjust the sweetness which I like since I like it a bit less sweet and a bit more tangy. Prep is cumbersome, but easy. Cooking is fast. Give it a try! Prep:60m Cook:15m Servings:2	55to64

1 Roma tomato, cut into eight wedges

Sauce:

1 cup water

Place salt, sugar, soy sauce, egg white, chopped green onions, garlic, and ginger in a bowl. Whisk together until egg white is slightly foamy. Add pork cut into 1 inch cubes. Marinate for at least one hour stirring often.

Put about 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan. Heat over medium high heat. Add onions and green pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are cooked through, but still crisp. Remove from the pan. Put the vegetables to the side with the tomato.

Make the sweet/sour sauce: In a saucepan, mix water, salt, sugar, vinegar, ketchup and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer. Set aside. Make a slurry of cornstarch with 1/4 cup water. Set aside. (A slurry is a combination of cornstarch and cool water. It is a common thickener for Chinese cuisine.)

Coat the pork with cornstarch, and fry in ta few tablespoons of oil until evenly browned. Drain on paper towels.

Wipe out the frying pan. Add a tablespoon of oil. Combine the vegetables and pork including the tomato wedges. Heat thoroughly.

Reheat the sauce adding in the pineapple. When simmering, add the slurry and simmer until thickened.

Place pork and vegetables in a serving dish. Pour sauce and pineapple on top. Serve very hot over white rice. Garnish pork with green onions
