Sweet and Sour Pork Recipe

Sweet and Sour Pork is a popular Chinese dish that is crispy and tender pork smothered in a tangy sweet and sour sauce. The secret is in double frying the meat. This recipe can be made with various meats and even tofu. The ingredients include pork, bell peppers, onion, spring onion, pickles, egg, sugar, corn flour, salt, Shaoxing rice wine, light soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and tomato ketchup.

To prepare, remove excess fat from the pork and cut it into bite-sized cubes. Marinate the pork with soy sauce, Shaoxing rice wine, salt, and bicarbonate of soda. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes. Cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Prepare the sweet and sour sauce by combining sugar, tomato ketchup, vinegar, corn flour, salt, and liquid. Coat the marinated pork with a beaten egg and corn flour batter. Double coat the pork by coating it again with corn flour. Deep fry the pork until golden brown. Stir-fry onions, peppers, spring onion, and pickles in a pan. Add Shaoxing rice wine for stir-frying. Pour in the sweet and sour sauce and bring to a boil. Add the fried pork and stir to coat.
