You will never want a fast food sweet and sour pork take out again after you have tried this, this is how sweet and sour pork should be, healthy and made with all natural ingredients, super fast and simple to cook and inexpensive too, you can serve a family of four generous portions all for under a fiver!
Ingredients
(serves 4)
1kg belly pork
4 tbsp cornflour
3 eggs
1 fresh pineapple
150ml fresh orange juice
4 tbsp thick rich tomato ketchup (tiptree)
3 tbsp sugar
1/2 fresh lime juice (optional)
1 tsp cornflour in 2 tsp water
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
1 onion
1 ltr ground nut oil
Prepare all the ingredients first as again this is a fast cook from wok to table in under 10 minutes. In a bowl beat the eggs into the cornflour to make your batter, leave to one side, chop your belly pork in to inch square cubes, sprinkle with salt and leave to one side, slice your peppers and onion roughly and chop your pineapple, catch any juices and add to the orange juice.
In a fryer or pan bring the nut oil up to 180 degrees for frying, toss all the pork in to the bowl with the egg and cornflour batter, coat well and fry in batches so not to overload the pan, fry until golden brown, drain on paper, leave the pork to drain.
In a wok add a splash of nut oil and stir fry the peppers and onions for a minute or so, add the pork, pineapple, tomato ketchup, sugar and orange juice, coat the pork well, bring to a simmer to thicken, if your sauce is a little thin add some of the cornflour to thicken, taste and if you want a little more sour season with the lime juice. I serve this with organic jasmine rice.
