Here's a simple home-cooked recipe which I would like to share with working mums who can't spend too much of their time in the kitchen preparing their meal. The amount of the ingredients used are not being specifically fixed, as it varies according to the portion that each individual needs to cook and the sauce is depending on our individual taste-buds, whether how sour or sweet we prefer.
Sweet & Sour Pork
Ingredients:
Pork (preferably the meat with a little fat & the tender one - inform butcher for purpose of
cooking sweet & sour)
Garlic - chopped (more for better taste)
Sauce ingredients: Mix all in a bowl
Tomato sauce or ketchup (needs more for better taste)
A pinch of salt
Sugar
Some vinegar
Corn flour
Water (depends on how much sauce you need)
Method:
1. Wash, cut pork into desired cubes and marinate with salt, pepper and seafood sauce/oyster sauce. Let stand for at least half an hour.
2. Dust some corn flour onto the marinated pork.
3. Prepare oil for deep-frying. Fry pork in batches, when cooked drain on absorbent paper and set aside.
4. Heat a frying pan with oil enough for slow frying of the chopped garlic. Heat should not be too high as it will burn the garlic. When garlic turns slightly yellow (not brown) pour the sauce ingredients onto the garlic and stir well. At this point we need to taste the sauce and extra sauce ingredients can be added to our individual liking. If the sauce is not thick enough, we can add extra cornflour mix with water.
5. Stir well, then put the deep-fried pork onto the sauce, give it a quick stir to ensure they are well coated.
6. Dish up & serve!
