I use an old AWW recipe.The trick is to have all ingreds prepared and ready to go,oven warmed and to stay at the wok.

Sweet and Sour Pork.

Chopped and sliced veges of your choice:red pepper,onions,celery,green beans,finely shredded cabbage etc,about 3 -4 cups.

Mix together 2tsp sugar,1.5TBS soy sauce,1TBS dry sherry,an egg yolk and stir well. Place the pork pieces in the soy mixture.Cover and leave for an hour,to marinate,stir occasionally.Drain meat and reserve marinade,and coat meat in cornflour.

Heat oil in wok and add meat,stir fry until golden brown.remove from wok and keep warm.

Stir fry veges in a little more oil for a few minutes,remove and keep warm.Add the syrup,but not the fruit, from a 450g can of pineapple into the wok with the marinade from the meat,2TBS tomato sauce,2TBS soy sauce,1/4c malt vinegar and a chicken stock cube.Blend 1.5TBS cornflour with 1c water and stir sauce until it boils and thickens.

Sweet and sour pork

Okay the key ingredients are the sauce and the coating on the pork, that’s what makes it!

So do what vege you like to have in it here is the coating first:

Mix 2 teaspoons of sugar with 1 ½tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 egg yolk mix to combine the marinate the cubed pork in this, you may need to double it depending on how much pork you are using – marinate for at least 1 hour

Then drain it (save the mix) and lightly dust the pieces of pork in cornflour then shallow pan fry

This is how you get the pork like at the takeaway


Once you cook the pork set aside and stir fry your vege, then add the juice from a can of 470g pineapple with the left over marinade add 1 ½ teaspoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce ¼ cup of vinegar, 1 chicken stock cube blend a little cornflour with water and add to thicken the sauce – then add the pineapple.

Enjoy 

Oh btw if you like the noodles they do, its time consuming but the way to get them is to boil then drain the noodles for ½ day on a cake rack covered with a tea towel and dry them out, then you stir fry and done! Of course add ya vege you want and some oyster sauce, ginger and garlic and a little soy sauce
