Recipe: Sweet and Sour Pork

Ingredients:

500 gm pork tenderloin (cut into bite size pieces)
1 green bell pepper (cut in pcs
1 red bell pepper ( cut into pieces)
1 cucumber
/ carrot
1 clove garlic (finely chopped)
Oil for frying

Frying Batter:

50 gm all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda


Some cooking oil

Sweet and Sour Sauce:

1 1/2 tablespoons tomato ketchup
1 teaspoon plum sauce
1/8 teaspoon Chinese rice vinegar (transparent in color)
1/2 teaspoon Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon corn starch
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons water


Method:

Cut the pork tenderloin into pieces and marinate with the ingredients for 15-20 minutes.

Mix the sweet and sour sauce ingredients well and set aside.

Dip the pork into the frying batter n then put back into fridge uncover for 1 hour.

In a deep skillet, add in the cooking oil enough for deep-frying. Once the oil is hot, deep fry the pork pieces until they turn golden brown. Dish out and drain on paper towels.

Heat up a wok and add in some cooking oil. Add in the chopped garlic and stir fry until light brown, then follow by the bell peppers and cucumber or pineapple pieces. Stir fry until you smell the peppery aroma from the peppers and then add in the sweet and sour sauce. As soon as the sauce thickenens, transfer the pork into the wok and stir well with the sauce. Add in the chopped scallions, do a few quick stirs, dish out and serve.
If you like to eat the pork crispy then dont mix in until you are ready to eat .

Happy cooking!!
