Sweet and Sour Pork
Ingredients for 2 Servings
  • 200g Pork ribs
  • Seasonings: 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 1/4 teaspoon corn starch, 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon rice wine, a pinch of salt
  • 1/2 red, yellow and green bell peppers
  • 1/2 onion

  • Finishing: 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon water

  • Wash the pork ribs and cut into cubes. Marinade with seasoning ingredients for 30 min.
  • Remove bell peppers's ribs and seeds, then cut into cubes. Peel onions and slice into strips.
  • Break cane sugars into small pieces and dissolve with warm water.
  • Preheat oil in a saucepan.
  • Sprinkle corn starch on a small plate. Roll on the porks until coated evenly. Then deep fry the pork in hot oil until golden brown. Set it on kitchen papers to absorb excess oil.
  • Heat oil in another frying pan, add bell peppers and onions, stir fry for few minutes and set on a plate.
  • Pour in sweet and sour sauce ingredients in to the pan, taste and adjust the source if desired, then add finishing to thicken the sauce.

Onions have a variety of medicinal effects. Early American settlers used wild onions to treat colds, coughs, and asthma, and to repel insects. In Chinese medicine, onions have been used to coughs, bacterial infections, and breathing problems.


Mini Tips: 
The purpose of "Finishing" is thicken and smoothen the sauce. Infact, the corn starch would not dissolve in water naturally. I use my fingers to stir away the lumps in the corn starch water, stirring and pouring it into the pan at the same time. Then the finished sauce will be silky smooth.
