Hi all,

Does anyone have a good tried and tested sweet & sour sauce? I saw Ben
posted one in Feb but that seems to be not what I'm after. I'd like it
to be fairly thick but not so much so I can stick bricks together with
it :) A little runny but not so watery it sticks to nothing and ends up
at the bottom of the bowl. Just a good ol' sweet 'n sour.

Need something to go with my leftover pork :)

My friends wife sent me this a few years ago. I've made it and it's
pretty darn good.

Title: Chinese Sweet & Sour Pork
Categories: Pork, Vegetables, Rice, Fruits
Yield: 4 servings

1 1/3 c Uncooked long-grain rice
2 2/3 c Water
1/4 c Cornstarch
2 tb A-P flour
1 ts Sugar
1/4 ts Baking soda
3 tb Water
1 lg Egg; beaten
1/2 lb Boneless pork loin; in 2" X
- 1/2" x 1/4" pieces
Oil for frying
3 tb brown sugar
2 tb cornstarch (see note)
1/2 tb Chicken-flavor soup base
1/2 c Water
3 tb Rice vinegar
2 tb Ketchup *
2 ts Soy sauce
20 oz Can pineapple chunks in
- unsweetened juice, drained
- reserving 3 tb liquid
1 cl Garlic; minced
1 lg Bell pepper; in 3/4" pieces

* I used Red Gold's ketchup w/Huy Fong Sriracha for a
little zip. You couls also use Heinz Spicy (Tabasco) or
Frank's Red Hot Ketchup - UDD

Cook rice in 2 2/3 cups water as directed on package.

Meanwhile, in medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup cornstarch,
flour, sugar, baking soda, 3 tablespoons water and egg;
mix well. Add pork; stir until well coated.

In deep fryer, heavy saucepan or wok, heat 2" to 3" oil
to 375oF/190oC. Fry coated pork pieces, 1/4 of total
amount at a time, for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden
brown and no longer pink in center, turning once. Drain
on paper towels. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the oil from
deep fryer.

In small saucepan, combine brown sugar, 2 tablespoons
cornstarch, bouillon, 1/2 cup water, vinegar, ketchup,
soy sauce and reserved 3 tablespoons pineapple liquid;
blend well. Cook over medium-high heat until bubbly and
thickened, stirring constantly. Keep warm.

Heat reserved 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet or wok
until hot. Add garlic and bell pepper; cook and stir 2
to 3 minutes or until bell pepper is crisp-tender. Stir
in pineapple chunks, pork and sauce. Cook until
thoroughly heated. Serve over rice.

NOTE: If you are planning to prepare this ahead and re-
heat to serve substitute arrowroot for the cornstarch.
Cornstarch breaks down and gets watery in the presence
of acidic ingredioents like vinegar, etc. - UDD

Hi Moderator,
On <Tue, 31 Mar 25>, you wrote me:

Why would you think a tagline had anything to do with you? I did
not mention your name at all. Just go away with your bully nonsense,
we are adults here.

I know you like to bully people into backing down, but I don't play
with bullys who have mental issues.

You're a sick person who needs a lot of mental help. Please get
some.

You know what? I thought about it. You win Sean.
You are not worth the hassle of getting upset. You win.

It's sad a real hunk of shit like you win's in anything.
I'll go give my loving wife a kiss and a hug. enjoy winning
all alone in your shitty subsidized apartment working tax
payers pay for.

You win. I'm leaving.

Go ahead and lie to everyone about rage when you are the
one who has serious mental issues. Your anger managment class
was clearly a failure and you need to go back.

I post my findings. you say. "YOU'RE WRONG" I appoligize and
now I no longer have a hobby. I mean great job.

You win.

Shawn
P.S. I hope you feel like a big man.
