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 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 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.
