EASY SWEET AND SOUR PORK CHOPS

Being a busy single mom, I look for recipes that are quick, simple and don't have 100 ingredients. This one fits the bill to a T. I've served it to my picky parents and sisters who loved it and my 6 year old always asks for seconds (and even thirds at times)! Original recpie called for equal parts of wet ingredients, but I found it too salty and reduce the soy sauce slightly.

Tips:

  • Use a light touch when mixing the sauce. Over-mixing will make the sauce cloudy and less flavorful.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the pork. This will cause the pork to steam instead of fry and result in a soggy coating.
  • Cook the pork until it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This will ensure that the pork is cooked through without becoming dry.
  • Add the sauce to the pork and vegetables just before serving. This will prevent the sauce from becoming too thick or syrupy.
  • Serve the sweet and sour pork with rice or noodles. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sour pork is a classic Chinese dish that is loved by people of all ages. It is a flavorful and versatile dish that can be easily made at home. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a delicious sweet and sour pork dish that your family and friends will love.
