咕噜肉sweet sour pork (Cantonese style)

Sweet and sour pork is undisputedly one of most likeable Chinese dishes among foreigners. It may be commonly found in many Chinese eatery places, however, it is not easy to cook a delicious sweet and sour pork. I'm using the Cantonese style to cook this dish and the success of this dish is to have crispy and crunchy pork bites by double fry the pork. I will be using plum sauce too as it adds deeper and fruitier taste to the sauce. Please look out for my next posting. I will be cooking Singapore chilli crab! Though reside in Hk, I'm still quite Singaporean ;)

Ingredients:

• 1 pound worth of pork (semi-lean
• oil for deep-frying
• 1 can of pineapple chunk
• 1/2 of 2 small capsicum
  (  green and red )
• Sauce:
  4 tbsps ketchup with a few drop of  white vinegar
  1/2 tbsp of pineapple juice ( from the can)
  11/2 tbsps plum sauce  
  1 tsp of light soy sauce
  4 tbsps water
  1-2 tbsps sugar (add sugar tablespoon by tablespoon and do a taste after the first to see if you want to add more sugar)
  
  Marinade for pork:

• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tbsp light soya sauce
• 1 tsp sugar
•  1/2 tsp white pepper
• 1/2 sesame oil

          Mixture for Dredging: 

          1 beaten egg

          3 tbsps all purpose (plain) flour

          3 tbsp seasoned fry powder

          1/2 tsp baking soda powder

Method:

1.  Prepare the sauce first by mixing all the ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil mixing well.  Set aside.
2.  Marinade the pork in the above ingredients for about 10 minutes.  
3.  Cube the capsicums 
4.  Heat up enough oil for deep-frying.  Turn heat to medium.  

     Fry until 60-70% cooked, remove from oil and drain on prepared paper towels.

5.  Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes.  

6. Use clean oil and fry the pork again until cooked and crispy!   Allow to cool for further 10 minutes.

7. Pour in the prepared sweet and sour sauce earlier.  Bring to a boil.  

8. Add in the fried pork.  Mix well to coat the pork with sauce evenly.  Pour in the capsicums (and pineapple if using).  

9. Mix well to coat and serve hot

* Pls do change the cooking oil when second batch of frying  the pork as the first batch of oil will be blacken and thus tends to burn the pork easily.

So yummy!!!! If you have kids or friends to come over your place, you absolutely have to make this!!!! Restaurant taste satisfaction!!!
