Pork with sweet and sour sauce
This pork with sweet and sour sauce is a simple, satisfying dish with crisp fried pork and a quick homemade sauce. The pork is seasoned with soy sauce, red wine, salt and pepper, then fried twice for extra texture before being coated in a tangy sauce made from barbecue or tomato sauce, vinegar, sugar and cornflour. Serve it hot with rice or vegetables for an easy sweet-savoury meal that beats the bottled stuff.
Serves: 2 people
Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes
Ingredients
Main ingredients
