Sweet and Sour Pork

Sweet and Sour Pork is a classic Chinese dish that is popular throughout the world. It consists of cubes of pork that are battered and deep fried, and then cooked in a sweet and sour sauce. The sauce is usually made with a combination of vinegar, sugar, and soy sauce, along with other ingredients such as garlic, ginger, and chili peppers. The pork is often served with a side of steamed rice and vegetables. Sweet and Sour Pork is a great dish to serve at parties or as a part of a larger Chinese meal.

Ingredients (2 Persons)

  • 2 pounds pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 2 green bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 red bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 (8-ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained

Directions

  • Step 1
    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork cubes and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Step 2
    In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, ketchup, garlic powder, ground ginger, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt. Pour the mixture over the pork cubes and stir to coat.
