Sweet and Sour Pork
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 2 green peppers
- 4 slices pineapple
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- oil for stir-fry, peanut or canola
marinate
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon cold water
- 1 egg yolk
seasoning
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 4 tablespoons catsup
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Directions
- Using a sharp knife, slice the loin in halves. Pound the meat to tenderize, and cut into 1-inch squares. Soak with the marinate for at least 1/2 hour.
- Cut the green peppers and slices of pineapples into 1-inch squares. Set aside.
- Pour enough oil in the pan to cover the bottom, about an inch deep. Heat the oil on medium-high heat. While the oil is heating up, coat each piece in 1/2 cup of cornstarch. Place in the oil in batches and fry till browned. Set aside onto a plate and drain off the oil.
- Place 2 tablespoons of oil into pan and fry the peppers and pineapples, stirring constantly. Add the seasoning and continue to fry till thickened. Add the pork and heat through, for a few minutes. Serve over rice.
