Sweet and Sour Pork! (Homemade Sweet and Sour Sauce)

(You will need a 1 lb. 4 oz. can of pineapple rings)
(Drain the juice and set it aside for later)
(Cut the pineapple rings into big chunks)

Cut a pork "tenderloin"... "not a pork loin"... into 3/4 to 1 inch
pieces. (should be around 3/4 of a lb. of meat)

Put the pieces into a bowl and add 1 tbsp. soy sauce,
1/4 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. baking soda, and 3 tbsp. of that
pineapple juice you kept.

Mix the meat well and chill in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.

Now make your sweet and sour sauce. (You can use store bought)

1/2 cup of ketchup
1/2 cup of rice vinegar
1/2 cup of sugar (you can use 50/50 brown and white sugar)
1/2 cup pineapple juice (from that can of pineapple rings)
1 tsp. of dark soy sauce (or 2 tsp. regular soy sauce)
1 tbsp. duck sauce

Bring it all to a simmer then... slowly add a cornstarch slurry.
To make the slurry ...Take 1 tbsp. of corn starch and a tbsp.
of water and mix it well. Stir it in slowly and it will thicken.

After it thickens ... Remove it from the heat and set it aside.

Prepare the wet and dry dredge for your pork chunks.

Blend 3 eggs up good in a bowl. This is your wet mixture.
In a separate bowl pour 2 cups of all purpose flour and
1 cup of cornstarch... mix well.

Dip the pork chunks in the egg mixture then dredge them in the
flour and cornstarch mixture. Put these pieces in a bowl.

Once you have coated all the pork... do it again.
It's called double dipping. Take the already coated chunks
and roll them back in the egg mixture making sure they get
wet then back in the dry mixture one more time.

Once they are all double dipped... put small batches
(about 7 or 8 pieces at a time) into 350 degree vegetable
oil and cook for about 6 minutes or until the internal temp
is 140 degrees. (drain on paper towels and set aside)

In a hot wok put 1 to 2 tbsp vegetable oil and add about
1/3 cup of onions and a 1/3 of a cup of carrots together.

Cook for 3 to 4 minutes then add 1 green bell pepper and
1 red bell pepper cut into big 1 and 1/2 inch chunks.
Cook for 3 to 4 minutes then add 1/2 of the sweet and sour
sauce. Now add your fried pork chunks and mix it all together.

Add more sweet and sour sauce until it reaches the mixture
you like!... It's all done!

Serve over a bed of rice and sprinkle on some sesame seeds!
(I forgot to add the sesame seeds!) Oops!

Enjoy!
