Sweet and Sour Pork.

[Buddy Holly]

I'm thinking of making some but I personally don' know how to and I've seen "pre-packaged" boxes at the stores where they have the sauce and everything included.

I really want to make it from scratch.

Does anyone have a personal favorite recipe for sweet n sour pork?

It's the MSG that makes it taste good.

But to make it at home? I guess some pork tips / small slices, onion and bell pepper fried in some veggie oil. Then some sweet & sour sauce from the grocery or asian speciality story. Throw in a spoon of hot oil and some garlic.

Thanks.

Isn't S&S pork batter fried?

You don't have to ... I made some without frying it and it was awesome, and a little less damaging. :)

Was eating lunch in Austin with some friends and guy from Somalia blew chunks when he found a ball of pork in his soup. He had asked about it 1st and they said no pork....

Hey SW, I just printed this out and was going to run to the store and buy the few things I need to make it, but I noticed it says cook for an hour. So, this is for cooking a whole pork loin? Is it like a Hawaiian pineapple pork thing? Sounds delicious, just won't get cooked today for lunch. :lol

[SpursWoman]

I cubed the pork loin ... I don't think it took a whole hour that way, but yeah...it's kind of late for lunch unless you like a late one. :lol

It was kind of Hawaiian-y ... but it was really good. :)
