Sweet and Sour Pork in Chinkiang Style - I was able to make this dish since I was a kid. But the ingredients and preparations were slightly different. 


One day, I chatted with a staff of the neighborhood food store. She told me that since she always deliver goods to restaurants, thus she knows their recipe.  She was very generous and told me all the details. After I tried this at home, I found it gave more sweetie aroma compare to my home recipe. So I decided to post in my blog and share with others.

Wrapping the fried rice with iceberg lettuce to serve... Another refreshing idea!!!

Mini Tips:

• Preparing shrimp meats from fresh shrimps: After purchased fresh shrimps, rest the shrimps on ice or chill in refrigerator for half hour. It makes the shells easier to peel off. After the meats are taken out, Slightly cut the back of the shrimp from head to tail with a small knife. Then you can devein the shrimp easily. Also, this cut can make the shrimps more curly and looks better after cooked.
• Preparing the rice:  Fresh rice are too moist for frying. Some people use rice last from the night before. Or you may cook the rice few hours in advance. Then rest it in a large blow to chill it cold and dry. 
• If you don't have a wok, then use a large frying pan : )

Uffie - Make it Hott (Crystal Castles Remix)

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.
