Sweet and Sour Pork

Sweet and Sour Pork

Serves 4-6
Cooking time 15 mins plus 1 hour marinating time

This is one of my families favourite dinners. I have basicly reworked an old classic.

Ingredients

600gm pork fillet cut into bite sized cubes
2 egg yolks
2 tbs soy sauce
2 tbs corn flour

1 red capsicum cut into 1 inch chunks
1 cup chopped broccoli
200 gms snow peas
2 stalks celery sliced
3 carrots sliced
1 large onion cut into 1 inch chunks
4 cloves garlic crushed
100 gm fresh baby corn
250 gms freshly sliced pinapple
Sauce
6 tbs tomato sauce
4 tbs sugar
6 tbs white vinegar
1 teas salt
6 tbs water
3 teas cornflour

Directions

Combine the egg yolks, soy sauce and corn flour, add the pork and let marinate for 1-2 hours.
Combine all the ingredients for the sauce and mix well.
Add and extra 2 tbs of corn flour to the pork so it is well coated, heat oil in a wok or deep sided pan and fry the pork until golden about 2-3 minutes remove from the oil and drain .
Pour of the excess oil leaving a tbs and fry the onion, garlic, for about 1 minute add the carrots, corn and celery and stir fry for a further minute, add all remaing vegetable and cook for a further minute.
Add the pork and sauce to the wok cook until sauce is slightly sticky and thick.
Serve with steamed rice

I serve this with fresh corriander, you can change the vegetables depending on what you may have in your fridge. This is a great dinner to introduce your kids to chop sticks that is if you have the patience to watch food being stabbed and the odd bit of pork fly across the table.
