400 grams Diced Pork - any cut is fine, including cheaper cuts
½ Onion – Finely grated on a box grater
1 teaspoon Garlic – Finely chopped
1 teaspoon Ginger – Finely chopped
1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
2 teaspoon Cornflour
2 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
Mix the above together in a bowl and place in the fridge covered overnight. This will tenderise the pork.
Vegetables: Prepare the vegetables and sit aside
1 courgette - diced
2 carrots – sliced into sticks
2 onions – sliced
1 corn on the cob – slice the corn off the cob
2 capsicums – sliced
2 large Spring onions - sliced
1 tin of pineapple pieces – Set juice aside
2 cloves of garlic – Finely chopped
2 pieces of fresh ginger – finely chopped
Sweet & Sour Sauce
1/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup cider vinegar
The juice from can of Pineapple pieces
3 Tablespoons Tomato sauce
½ teaspoon Worcester Sauce
1 Tablespoon Soy sauce
1 teaspoon Fish Sauce or Oyster Sauce
½ cup water
Mix the above ingredients in a glass bowl. Microwave for 3 minutes, then thicken with the cornflour. Continue cooking until thicker (about 2 more minutes)
4 teaspoons cornflour – mixed to a paste with a little water to thicken.
Set the sauce aside
Take the Pork out of the fridge and add 5 Tablespoons of Cornflour to the bowl. Stir well, it should all be white. Let sit for 5 minutes. You may need to dust with more cornflour before fryng.
Using about half a cup of oil, fry your pork in 3 batches for around 3 mins each batch
Let it sit on a wire rack.
Add more oil, and heat till hot, fry all the pork at once this time, for another 2 mins. Note (I then sat the pork in the air fryer on very low until I needed it. But next time I think I will try cooking the pork in the air fryer, rather than frying it. Possibly spraying with an oil spray.
While frying the pork, start your onions, ginger and garlic in a wok pan for about 3 minutes.
Add all your other Vegetables and Pineapple and cook for about 5 minutes.
Add the Pork
Add the sauce
Cook for a couple of minutes
I add in a bag of crunchie noodles at this stage.
Mix all together and serve.
Options: Leave out the noodles and serve over rice
You could try adding toasted peanuts
