SWEET & SOUR PORK (serves 2)
Ingredients :
400 gm. pork, thinly sliced
3 tbsps. light soy sauce
1 tbsps. brown sugar
1 tsp. sesame oil
2 tsps. corn flour
1 medium onion
2 stalks of spring onions
1/4 cup each of sweet green and red pepper, cut into squares
1/2 cup tinned pineapple tidbits or chunks
1/4 cup syrup from the tinned pineapple
1 tbsp. white wine or cider vinegar
2 tbsps. tomato ketchup
3 tbsps. honey
3 tbsps. cooking oil
Method :
1. In a bowl, mix the pork with the light soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil and the corn flour. Mix very well then set aside while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
2. Heat up a wok until very hot. Add 2 tbsps. of the cooking oil and swirl around to coat the wok.
3. Add the pork and stir fry on a high heat for about 5 minutes or until the liquid that comes out of the pork is re-absorbed.
4. If necessary, add the last tbsp. of oil (I didn't need to) and stir fry until the pork is glossy and dry. Add the vinegar, ketchup, pineapple syrup, honey, onions and peppers.
5. Keep stirring until the mixture comes to a boil. Keep the heat high. When the peppers and onions are half done (about 3 minutes), add 1/2 cup of water around the pork to deglaze the pan (again, I didn't need to do this as my pan is a new non-stick and there was nothing to deglaze).
6. Add the spring onions and the pineapple pieces. Simmer for 2 minutes then turn the heat off.
Serve.
