Recipe Summary Sweet And Sour Pork Iii

My husband's grandmother was Chinese. She taught me this one. This is the way Gramma made Sweet and Sour all her life (she died 6 years ago at age 94). The secret is apple cider vinegar.

Ingredients | Pork Belly Recipes Chinese

1 pound pork butt, cut into 1 inch cubes

1 teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon white sugar

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 egg white

2 green onions, chopped

1 quart vegetable oil for frying

½ cup cornstarch

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

3 stalks celery, cut into 1/2 inch pieces

1 medium green bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces

1 medium onion, cut into wedges

white sugar to taste

salt to taste

1 cup water

¼ teaspoon salt

¾ cup white sugar

⅓ cup apple cider vinegar

¼ cup ketchup

½ teaspoon soy sauce

1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, undrained

2 tablespoons cornstarch

¼ cup water

Directions

Place cubed pork in a medium bowl, and season with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon soy sauce. Mix in the egg white and green onions. Cover, and place in the refrigerator at least 1 hour.

Heat 1 quart oil to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C) in a large, heavy saucepan or deep fryer.

Coat the pork with 1/2 cup cornstarch, and fry in the heated oil about 10 minutes, until evenly browned. Drain on paper towels.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok over medium heat. Stir in the celery, green bell pepper, and onion, and cook until tender. Season with salt and sugar. Remove from heat, and set aside.

In a large saucepan, mix 1 cup water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 3/4 cup sugar, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, and 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce. Bring to a boil, and stir in the cooked pork, celery mixture, and the pineapple chunks with juice. Return to boil, and mix in 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/4 cup water to thicken. Cook until well blended.

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
