MY FAVOURITE

Hi, I am here again :D This week I am so hardworking, trying out new recipes from those cooking books I bought. The very 1st dish I would like to share is my farourite or maybe is your favourite too " Sweet & Sour Pork ". Normally those family with kids will order this dish from the restaurant when they have thier lunch or dinner. 

I remembered this was my 2nd attempt. The very very 1st was 13 years ago. Hahahaha..... 

Here you go the recipe :

• 30g cucumber ( cut into triangles )
• 20g green capsicum ( cut into triangles )
• 30g yellow capsicum ( cut into triangles )

• some tapioca flour ( for coating )

Sauce :

• 100g tomato sauce
• 50g chilli sauce
• 30g plum sauce
• 300ml water

1. Tenderize the pork meat with mallet, then cut into small pieces. Season with marinade, keep aside.
2. Heat up oil, coat marinated pork pieces with tapioca flour, deep-fry in the hot oil at high heat until golden in colour & crispy. Dish out, drain well.
3. For the sauce, Mix tomato sauce, chilli sauce, plum sauce & water, cook over high heat. Add in sugar, stir well, continue cooking for 5 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolves.
4. Add in big onions, cucumbers & capsicums, toss well.
