RIVER ROAD COOKBOOK SWEET AND SOUR PORK
This is a wonderful--not sticky sweet!--sweet and sour pork that I grew up with. Simple and just delicious. It spoiled me for all other versions. I find most too sweet and way too full of unnecessary and distracting vegetables.

Steps:
- Beat the egg and incorporate the 2 Tablespoons cornstarch in a medium bowl (one that will accommodate the pork).

- Deep fry in 375 degree Fahrenheit oil in batches to keep the oil up to temperature, until light brown.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Cut peppers into 1/4-inch slivers. Cut slivers in half.
- Drain pineapple. If using sliced pineapples, cut them into tidbits.
- Put the sugar, vinegars, salt and water, or pineapple juice, in a large saucepan (3 to 4 quarts).
- Bring to a boil.
- Add the sliced peppers and boil one minute.
- Mix the 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/2 cup water together.
- Stir the cornstarch/water mixture into the vinegar mixture.
- Simmer about two minues, stirring constantly, until thickened and translucent.
- Add the drained pineapple tidbits and the pork.
- Stir until heated through.
